We went paintballing a couple of weekends ago.
It was Christmas present from Jennifer to Luke.
He was super excited about it--we all were!
Josh didn't get to go--too young--but we brought Brad, Papa, Kole, and Luke's friend Grady with us.
When we got there we were grouped with a bunch of 16 year old boys. They were great! It was a good mix!
I went in to it knowing I would be horrible. I'm no good with any sort of reflex/target sport. We play dodgeball at the YMCA a lot and I am the worst at it! The boys--especially Ben--make fun of me all the time. My terribleness doesn't stop me, though!
I actually held my own on the paintball field! I even made it until the end in one round! I got out right in the beginning in several others, but still!
I was really impressed with all the kids!
They were all fearless--and pretty good shots!
They mostly stayed in until close to the end of the rounds, and were actually getting people out--I never actually hit a single person!
I think we only had tears once, and that was only after Ben shot Henry 5 or 6 times at fairly close range. He says he didn't think he was actually hitting him, but we all know how competitive Ben gets!
I don't blame Henry for tearing up. Those paintballs stung bad, especially when they come from up close. (Ben also shot me when I was only 5 or 6 feet away. He was ruthless!)
Jennifer always gives the most fun presents!
All the boys agreed that we must do it again!
