Supermom For A Day!!

Jon has becomed obsessed with paintball. He has all the bells and whistles that are required to play, but nowhere to play. He told me of a place in Tuscaloosa, but there was NOWAY I was going to drive all the way to T-Town to let him play. I googled "paintball" and sure enough, there is a place in McCalla. Now, I know that is still a ways away, but not quite as far.

So, we load up the car, but need to stop for more CO2. No problem, Supermom will find some. CO2...check! Then, we had to get 5000 extra paintballs because this place doesn't allow just any paintball. Again, Supermom has it under control. Paintballs...check! Belts...check! Masks.....check! Helments...check! Vests....check (but aren't used once we arrive because not one teenager there wore a vest).

Here we go....Supermom, Jon and his friend, Tommy for a fun-filled day of paintball. I have never seen them quite so excited. They talked constantly on the way there and all the way back home. They were able to walk on with other players and they had a blast for a very reasonable price. They also have numerous fields with various large objects to hide in/behind while shooting. I am planning to take Jon and some friends back for his 14th birthday. Kudos to Paintball Quest in McCalla!!

Jon told his father that it had been the best day EVER!! Yes!!! I am not a loser mom after all. I did at least one thing right in the eyes of my son. Now, of course I don't believe I am a loser, but I need at least one bit of affirmation a year from my two teenagers.
