Paint Ball Saturday

Evan couldn't wait to go play paintball. We were supposed to go on his birthday but Erik had to work.
Dan, a guy on Erik's dive team came along. He had been a paintball ref before becoming a diver so he was a huge help.
Erica and her friend Cecily played at the beach,
scooped up Portuguese Man-o-war...
buried each other in the sand...

enjoyed the gorgeous scenery...
found Mokapu Light House...
dumped the jellies out onto the beach...
and played in the waves until they got cold...
They took showers and we headed over to watch the boys play paintball.
Here's Erik, in one game Erik captured the flag and won a bag of paintballs, Dan won a bag, and Evan was given a bag because he gave his gun up to a guy who captured the flag, plus the two huge boxes Dan and Erik bought they went through 5,500 paintballs!
they play 15 minutes with a 6 minute break from 10-4:30. They had a blast. Erik said he hadn't had this much fun in a long time,
getting ready to start again. They play different games and have a re-cycle rule so if you get hit you run back to the start and can keep playing, the guns are also set on lower power because a lot of kids play here,
this is Dog the Bounty Hunter 's son,
there's Owen,
there were only 8 people that stayed until the end, Evan was hit in the back,
Erik's whole body is covered in these red bruises but he still had a great time and can't wait to go again.
That night Erica and I went and saw the Broadway show-Beauty and the Beast. We loved it!
