Paintball!

I know, right? Pffft ... studs.

Something else fun recently: PAINTBALL!  Okay, so we've played a few times, but there is a field that opened up in Oxnard that made for an especially exciting day.  This was the second time Chris and I were able to try out our guns, which worked great.  (Though I totally forgot to turn my hopper feeder on ... oops.)  I shot some guy in the hand who apparently didn't think a girl with a gun was much of a threat.  Uhm... yeah that was silly of him.  There were quite a few folks there, including some itty bitty kids that made me smile.  Most of them seemed to know each other and no one was hyper competitive, which added to a pleasant atmosphere.  The one thing that was a negative against the Oxnard field was it did not have a burrito truck to service the hungry players in the middle of the day.  (We got spoiled by one of the giant fields out near Six Flags.... we are suckers for food!)

I am looking forward to going and playing again maybe next month.  I could see it being a very addictive activity, especially when you get a group of friends together who work well together and talk to one another. It makes the game easier to win, and when you win, you don't get hit.  (At least, that's what I keep telling the girls who are too scared to play.)  At some point we are all thinking about doing a round in some abandoned field or something nearby with friends only.  That seems to be less intimidating to the other folks I know who just aren't quite ready to commit to the activity. Pew pew!!
