Beautiful Weekend

We finally made it out to go paint balling. It ended up just being 3 of us, but that's okay because it was still lots of fun. I really didn't know what to expect, like how serious they would play and stuff..so I think it kind of worked out that it wasn't a big group. We went to this area Plum Creek to play. It is 15 to 20 minutes away. I had no clue we were this close to an area like that. The weather was perfect and the scenery was beautiful!

Hays (read number one) brought extra camo for me to put on. It got a little warm, because I had jeans under these heavy camo pants. This is me ready to go...wait can you even see me? j/k...

We basically played where one person goes in and hides then the other two go and try to find and shoot them before they get spotted and shot at. Except for the last scenario...I wasn't ready to go off and find my own hiding spot so Hays went with me.
Hays going and hiding for the first scenario. Everything was a scenario not a game :), not that I was corrected several times or anything.....

Shawn and I, on our way out to find Hays. Did you notice that some of the grass is taller than us. I have to admit, I was a little scared walking and crawling through it.

I got hit a couple of times. The first time on my middle finger on my left hand. My knuckle has this nice little bruise around it. The second time was on my thigh, except the paint ball didn't break, but there is purplish bruise there. I was kind of mad, I stood up and yelled hit only to find out that if it doesn't break then it doesn't count...so I gave up my spot. For the last "scenario" I got Shawn! He just got Hays and thought he was going to win, but I got him! It is kind of hard to see in the picture with his camo, but it is the yellow streak across the branch and over to the side. After I got him, I was completely out of CO2 in my tank. So we loaded up and headed home.

When we got home we showered and got ready to go to a cook out at Larry and Kristin's house. I watch their girls Bricelyn (11 mo old) and M'Kambrie (4 yrs old) on Mondays and Fridays. I haven't really talked to much about them, because I thought I should ask Kristin's permission to blog about them and to put pictures on here. She told me I could :).

When we got to their house, the girls were playing in their new sandbox, with pretty purple sand. So I snapped a few photos. BTW, Bricelyn now weights 15.3 lbs. Hopefully she will just continue to gain. After we got our hugs, B went straight back to the sandbox and M eventually joined us again.

This afternoon Shawn and I decided to go back out to Plum Creek and check out some of the trails. We stopped at Subway on the way out there and grabbed a late lunch/ early supper to eat out there. Minnie had a blast. We were the only people out there and it was so peaceful. We got out there around 3:00 today and left right before 7, while the sun was setting. Here is a picture of Minnie and Shawn on a hill they hiked up. I zoomed in so you could seem them.

I loved the weather the past two days. It was so nice to be outside and breathe the fresh air.
