Weekend Paintballing

As you all know, Tanner is leaving on a mission soon. So, this last weekend my dad planned an overnighter at his friend Ron's cabin where we all spent the night and went paintballing, as kind of a last family get together before Tanner leaves. We got there Friday night around 5:00 and the girls made dinner while Whit, Jer and the guys went on a fourwheeler ride. After dinner we all played games, then came up with teams and rules for paintballing. Ron's cabin was on 500 acres and had made his own paintball zone. It had a fort on each end for each team, a kill house, a sniper fort and plenty of ground and trees to play on. Saturday morning after breakfast we got dressed into our outfits and picked out our guns and were off to battle. It was a little scary at first, but ended up being a lot of fun.

Luckily we got Tanner on our team, however Trent was on the other team and he had absoutely no mercy! Teneil and I thought we were being sneaky by climbing into the sniper fort which was in a tree. Then we got caught and were trapped while my dad and Trent shot about 50 or more paintballs at us. (even after we said "surrender!" and told them we had been shot and were dead) So we both had some pretty good battle wounds after only the first game! We tried to stick together again the next game, but the same thing ended up happening. We were stuck in our fort with my dad and Trent endlessly shooting at us. All in all, it was so much fun! I highly recommend it to everyone. As long as you abide by the rules!

- No shooting less than 20 feet apart (I ended up bleeding and Teneil had some pretty ugly wounds from my mom shooting at her from only 4 feet away!)
- No shooting in the head if you can help it (both Ryan and I were shot in the head by, who else but Trent)
- No shooting someone once they are dead!!!
- No shooting once someone surrenders!

I swear the other team broke all of these rules. I guess I shouldn't really say the other team- Trent, my Dad and my Mom! But hey, it's all in good fun right?
