Paintballin' Papa

I remember back in our college days when Kevin would go paint balling with his buddies, Weston and Kyle. They would come back with all these welts on their bodies and go on and on about their strategies - I thought they were just plum crazy for wanting to run around in the woods shooting at each other like they were in a Rambo movie. Well, it's been a good 9-10 years since those days, but today Kevin got to re-live his college fun by going paint balling with some guys from work. I personally have never gone but have been curious to what all goes on on these things. A friend of Kevin's passed on this picture so I at least know what they get all dressed up in. I guess they play a game similarly to "Capture the Flag" and Kevin got to play snipper during one of he games. Of course the weather had been great all week but they talked chances of snow on Saturday. It didn't end up snowing but it was darn chilly and coldest day we've had so far this year...down to 0 C (that's 32F). Kevin came home fairly unharmed, except for a huge welt on his bum. He had a great time, but said that at the very end they did a free for all and he had just loaded up is cartridge and at the call he got shot right in the front of his helmet, so he couldn't see a thing 10 seconds in and he was all done.
