Paintball and Walkathon


Despite the rain, we did the walkathon. Tasha was thrilled, Shelby was okay but not happy about being wet, and Hope tolerated it all in confusion. We found a baby wagon on Friday to put Hope in so we could just pull him on the walk. We originally thought Tasha & Shelby could pull him, but they were too fast & nonlinear.

*************************************************


Right after the walkathon, we had paintball with some of the staff (& friends) of the Humane Society. It was SO much fun....but SO painful. We all have huge welts on our legs, backs, head, etc. At one point, these little kids challenged us to a game against them. Considering they had all their own gear (outfit, gun, paintballs, etc.), we were a bit wary. Misty, of course, accepted the challenge on all our behalves. Four of us ended up hiding behind the same structure and got picked off one-by-one. Once two were gone, I started muttering "I want out; I want out", meaning I wanted to get out with the least pain possible. I got nailed in the wrist, which is now swollen. But I was out - hooray! We obviously lost - the hustling little twerps. It was suggested the next staff-bonding event be something like an inner tube float down a nice, calm river.
