Ninja Third

 There was another kids' ninja competition today.  This one had different age brackets, so the boys were in the 7-9 year old group. It was a tough course!  James did well and came in third place.  At first he was disappointed about not winning, but then he decided that he'd done pretty well given that he was only a seven year old, and the two kids who won were older and bigger.  We were proud of Mattie for giving it a try, but it wasn't his best run -- although he did get all the way up the rope/rock wall!  (James struggled with that one, but he really persevered with it and finally made it to the top!)
