PAINTBALL!!!

For Will's 30th birthday we decided it would be fun to get a game of paintball together. So, a group of us played yesterday morning. I will admit I was a little iffy about playing, I could only imagine how much it would hurt to get hit by one of the paintballs ( I have seen some welts on friends before)...but I am very glad I played. It was so much fun! By-the-way, it did hurt to get hit, but I think the adrenaline helped to get over it. Today, I am a little sore where I have bruises and just from running around and hitting dirt! A good sore...

It was nice to see Will having so much fun. He was really getting into it. Only two from our group had played before; Will had played when he was a firefighter in the Air Force and then Eric had played before as well. We were a small group but I am glad we reserved a field for just us. Some of the people that came to play in the open fields were...INTENSE! They looked like they were ready for war, or a hunter ready to disrupt the lives of innocent animals. I don't think any of us wanted to play with them.

There were a few of us that got some pretty good war wounds. Poor John got hit in the forehead the first game. It left a pretty good welt. Will shot Eric in the neck, but I think Eric definitely got him back for that. Poor Will got shot in both nipples and in a very sensitive area by Eric. He also got some pretty big bruises on his arms from Jeff. I hit Jeff in the mask but did not realize I got him yet (he did not call that he was out!) so I shot him again right in the back. I felt so bad when I could tell by his body movements that I got him good. My worst spots were my shin and my shoulder blade but they are not as bad as the guys. I think us girls were pretty lucky.

I think this was a great birthday gift for Will and it is definitely something I want to try again.
