Paintball addiction

Jon's enthusiasm for paintball was contagious. Since he'd purchased two markers I decided to join the guys today when they played. Only one other girl was able to join us and she was very unsure about being hit. I felt so bad when she was hit bad enough to break the skin and I wasn't hit once.

I had so much fun. although I'll admit that it might be because I was never shot. My desire to win kept me hiding quite a bit. I got several kill shots in, including to my dear husband. =)

I played three games and then headed up to the house to check on the kids. We (several moms) had hired a girl to babysit so we could either play or talk without a ton of kids running around under foot.

It worked great and we had a wonderful day.

We already have another day planned and I hope to have some more girls joining us. I now have a target on my back since I didn't get hit once. I'm quite sure I won't be so lucky next time.

Paintball

Jon has found a new sport.

Last week he was invited to a "birthday party". It was a bunch of men who went out into the woods and shot each other - with paintballs. 

Definitely a manly party. =)

 The birthday "boy" in the middle with Jon.

 All of the guys. 

Even though we teased him to death - turns out the dude in the yellow was just as camouflaged because of the yellow leaves.

The kids love this dog. She's so patience and gentle.

 As you might have guessed, the women were not invited. 

So we (and the kids) hung out together.

 Practicing before war.

Back for more amo and to tell us some war stories.

A casualty of war.

Jon had so much fun that he's already purchased guns markers of his own and is having his own "birthday party" next month. He purchased two in hopes that I'll join him sometime. Anyone want to babysit so Jon and I can shoot each other?
