paint ball guns + 5 guys = lots of fun

As Christmas gifts...mom and dad gave Nick, Jon and Brandon paintball guns. (Dad and Colter got one just for the fun of it!!) and did they all think that was the grandest thing the whole world! So, on Friday night after the gifts were opened...they all bundled up in warm (old) clothing and jackets and headed outside for a little fight!


Dad, Colter, Brandon and Jon
(Nick didn't play the first round because he didn't bring old play clothes.)


a few practice rounds...


Brandon said he would be their target...notice the paintball that grazed past his head and hit the shed! (the big orange splat!)



Here they are all aiming for the burning barrels...they were quite colourful at the end!


Heading out to the pasture to start their fight!


You can't see too well with this photo, but there are 3 guys out there.

Those men (and the boy) get so wild in everything they do together - and we girls are content to just sit in the house talking quietly...

(Ahh, but the memories!!)

I think paintball will be more fun for them in the summer when it's not so cold and there's not so much snow to wade through...(but at least now they can dress in layers so they won't get bruised too badly.)

Oh fun!! I hate to say it - but Brandon should come out to SD sometime next summer when Jon goes paintballing with his buddy Isaac...there's a place about a half hour from Hartford that can occupy them for hours!

Looks like everyone had a great time (that's most important!), was dressed properly and had all the gear they needed.
