Load 'em up, move'em out! We're off to the paintball fields with the Waterbrooke youth. The place we go is between Rockford and Buffalo and it has all the gear and 3 different terrains to play in. They organize a variety of "capture the flag" type games and monitor the safety very closely. My contribution to my team is always playing defense - I have no desire to go tearing off into the woods and trip and break my leg or something. So I hang out near the flag and shoot at anybody that comes near!
As you can see in the pictures above, it was a gorgeous day in the woods, and the kids had a great time. I did get shot twice right between the eyes - but that is actually better than getting hit on an unprotected body part that bruises!
Paul got a really nice bruise on the top of his head - for the second year in a row!
There was another group playing on one of the other fields that was really scary looking - our kids just look cute.
We went back to the church for a yummy supper of sloppy joes, and then Paul and Mark got tuned up for a sing along around the campfire.
The kids played SPUD and Cops and Robbers while some built the fire and some played foosball inside.
We had to coax them down out of the trees for the campfire talk and finished up with s'mores.
Some didn't seem to want to go home, but Paul and I were ready for a soak in the hot tub after a long day running around with teenagers!Stay tuned for a picture of our new car in my next blogspot!
