War Time

Paintballing with 13 boys is quite something. Kaitlin and I would know. We were the only two girls paintballing in a group of 15. Of course we were on the "cool guys" team... The Dad's. But we did have younger boys coming after us... so they had more of the advantage. When they would come for you, it wasn't just one person. They would come in clusters for you. So if you shot one guy, you had more to shoot at but chances were, you wouldn't be the winner of that situation. The first couple of games Kaitlin and I made a very good duo little pair in the combat of war.

On the first whistle, letting us know it was game time, Kaitlin and I made our way into a bush and put up our hideout. Back to back we sat there at the front of the line crossing into our territory, waiting for our enemy. Ready to fire. "Do you see anything?" whispering to each other constantly. "No, not yet." As minutes went by... waiting and waiting, eager to shoot a man down, finally we found some movement coming towards us. "Shhh....!!" I'd say. "Ok.. Shoot em, shoot em!" Our adrenaline finally kicked in and we were ready for battle! I could see movement coming my way. Setting my finger on the trigger, aimed, and shot... shot many times and I finally heard "Okay okay I'm shot!" Those words were coming from Colby. Ah-ha!! I had gotten him! Made me really excited that I had shot and killed someone my age of a different sex! Who ever said girls have a sucky aim?! Because I for one, have a good one! 

As the games went on our glory at ruling over the boys suddenly fizzled. We weren't on fire as we were at the beginning. Started to feel our toes freezing, our pants were wet, and we didn't have as much energy to take out the enemy. Instead we were letting the enemy get us. Now that is backwards! But all in all our first time taking on the game of paintball, was a success and filled our hearts content. 

It is always fun to try something new and to also just do things at spur of the moment. Kaitlin and I seem to have a lot of spur of the moment things come up, which makes hanging out and spending time with her fun and exciting with a new adventure in our sight. 

After our day at war, we settled for a nice sit in the hot tub and a movie following to end the day. Kaitlin dozed off during the movie, which was something very new! I am always the one to never finish a movie once it's started. I'm always dreaming and snoozing away. But the roles changed for once.

Geared up and ready to go!

A little cold and worn out.
