Paintball is addictive! It's like a drug. Seriously. I don't think I've ever had so much fun. The paintball park we went to is in the woods and is a whole lot of scenario type games. It was a friggin' blast! We now have our own paintball equipment (rental stuff blows) and will be paintballing quite frequently. We played all day Saturday. I managed to avoid being hit anyplace other than my facemask for the first few games because I was so terrified it was going to hurt. After that, I said screw it and got hardcore in the game. One game we were "defending the fort" and I watched all the manly men get picked off one by one around me. Not looking good. LOL! It came down to just me left in the fort. I watched the other team (teams were about 50 people each) line up along the fence and aim at me. I said a little prayer cause I just knew that was about to HURT like crazy! Tons of paintballs came flying at me. The ref wasn't calling me out though (I think the bastard was amused lol) so I stood my ground as long as I could. After being hit for about the 45th time, I said "okay, okay I'm out" and surrendered. I did manage to kill anyone who tried to sneak into my fort though up until that point. I was so proud. I ended up with 2 pretty nice welts for that one. Didn't really hurt. Adrenaline is running so high that you barely feel it. It's kind of like being plucked with a rubber band. Next scenario, the other team was defending the fort. I find myself holed up in a bunker (close to the fort) with 4 Marines. There was my downfall. They were kinda dumb and were drawing all kinds of fire. I ended up getting shot in the middle finger and it broke. Oops. Good thing I have all that nursing training behind me. I set my own bone when we were done and splinted it. Why go sit in the ER for 6 hours for something I can do myself? So, 2 welts and a broken finger later and I can't wait to go this weekend. I must be mad! Thing 2 is thoroughly addicted too. I was so impressed with how he manned up and took being shot. I really thought he'd whine and cry. I'm pretty sure dh thinks of himself as Rambo. LOL! Anyway, it was a great day and great family bonding experience. Nothing like shooting each other to bring a family closer.

A small Thing 1 funny:
I was babysitting my niece, Kelly on Friday. She was apparently trying to suck her fingers and got them into quite a position. Nick comes running up to me and screams, "LOOK MOM! Kelly's throwing up the horns and rocking out". I almost peed myself. He is a perfect combo of dh and I. The kid is straight up funny. I cannot believe he's going to be 4 next month. Where does the time go?
