The Dinosaur Birthday

John was full of dinosaur facts right around his fifth birthday. It was dinosaur this, and dinosaur that. Naturally, his birthday had to have a dinosaur theme.

Piñata time. This was a Cuban piñata: Instead of hitting it with a stick, you pull strings attached to the base; a little safer for little ones. This particular piñata was sent from Florida by friends who knew I was having trouble finding a dinosaur piñata in Chicago (I now see them everywhere). It was then that I decided to learn how to make my own piñatas, and did so a couple of times.
