One summer…a long time ago, I went to a church retreat with Jes and his family.  Someone forgot to pack a toothbrush so I drove Jes and his brother to the local grocery store.  There we found a gumball machine that was selling tiny ninjas in those plastic capsules.  The brothers were delighted and we spent countless quarters trying to get every color and every kind.  They still reminisce about that afternoon and I think Jason still has one of them.  I bring this up because I just saw this photo on Kenji’s facebook page and couldn’t help thinking back to that afternoon.  I guess boys will be boys no matter what generation.  By the way, I want these Lego ninjas.
