About Us

Welcome to the Brookston family blog. We'll post updates here on what's going on in our part of the world, and especially with our son, Porter, who has been diagnosed with some form of autism. Our hope is that this blog will help us deal with all the issues we'll be facing and keep our friends and family informed as well.

The Cement Pinata

Categories: Photos, Porter, Alice, Friends, Movies — J @ 10:02 am

Danielle’s birthday party on Tuesday also included a pinata in the shape of a cake. All of the kids lined up to take a turn whacking it three times. But it must have been made of cement, because not only didn’t the kids break into the pinata but none of the adults who tried could break it open either.

Porter’s friend Parker tries his hand at the pinata.

The kids lined up to have a go at the pinata.

Alice whiffs.

Even Danielle’s mother couldn’t break the pinata.

Eventually they broke open the pinata manually so the kids scrambled to scoop up the candy and prizes inside.

Here’s a Quicktime movie of Porter whacking the pinata. As you can see, Porter didn’t stop at three but hit it two extra times. You can either download the movie to your desktop or just click on the link to play it in your web browser (assuming your web browser has the quicktime plug-in installed).
