Pinata a MexiIdahoan Tradition

Every year we make a pinata to celebrate our love of Mexican culture and smashing things open for candy. This year, the torch was passed from the master builder to his apprentice, who took a very different style in his construction by sacrificing overall look for durability. Bonus points were awarded for including Dots in the pinata guts.

4th of July w/ the Idahoans

In no particular order, enjoy the fascinating and often bizarre rituals of the Idahoans at their celebratory feast and bloodline get together. You may ask, "where are the potatoes?" and to that we say "in the field... racist."

Prime rib so big and well rubbed you can barely take it
Making a dirt turkey
Post-dirt



This homemade spit works well for hours of slow fire cooking
Prep work is key

Grandpa always cuts the first slices of prime rib
Siblings
Technology to talk to Idahoans in the diaspora
Lounging, picking apricots above you as the meat cooks

A classic game of "touch the chicken"

The master at work in making the rub
Watching the compitition



Hats enhance our adorability
The thrower
We used to build small boats and race them down the ditch until they filled in the ditch, so now we make paper airplanes and compete for longest distance, creative landing, interesting flight pattern, and most stylish
