Behind the house there was a nice garden with a little creek through it. They had a nice little section of bamboo that the kids raced by and missed. Not Amy though.

The kids are playing a game they call Ninja whenever they're waiting for the rest of us to catch up. It's a turn based game where you get to jump or attack during your round. If you tag someone as an attack, they're out. You're allowed to dodge but not defend if it isn't your turn. They're having a lot of fun with it, though there's often some bad communication about whose turn it is.
