Kira's Irregulars
Meet the players from the weekend paintball extravaganzas. For the purposes of this page, we will denote three teams... (teams vary weekly!)
1) Team White Lightning (a.k.a. Melissa's team)
2) Team Blue Thunder (a.k.a. Michael's team)
2) Team Red Rain (a.k.a. people that come and play regardless of the fact that they otherwise rarely spend time with Kira and Crew)
I'll be keeping a loose record of our paintball get-togethers. ;)

Here are the fellas from the first get-together, celebrating Sir Josh's birthday.
Unfortunately, I don't have pictures from the second get-together...

July 5th 2003- Wells Residence
The first game was a little Base-Defense, with Melissa, Heather, Sharon, David and I defending against Ben, Jeff, Shay, and Josh. David and the Ladies won, with the highlight being a single shot fired at Ben by Melissa, resulting in a nice paint stain in the middle of Ben's back. :) The second game was more Base Defense, with Jeff, Melissa, Heather, David, and Josh attacking the base of Charles, Ben, Sharon, and Shay. The defending team won again- this time the highlight being a rush by Josh through the open field, resulting in a paintball shot to the groin. NICE. (Add that one to the list, Josh!) The final game was a new format designed by Jeff. Jeff and David opposed Ben, Sharon, Josh, Shay, and myself. As we were shot, we joined Jeff's team until everyone was converted. I believe Josh was the first to join Jeff's team, and Sharon was the last. It was a lot more fast-paced, and everyone seemed to have a good time, save possibly Sharon, who was shot at by 6 people there at the end. ;) After paintball came the cookout, and after the cookout came swimming with water-volleyball. :) A good time was had by all.
Here is everyone at the July 5th cookout, save Mick, who was taking the picture. Back row, left to right: Melissa, Jeff, Poochy, Slim Shay, Sharon, James. Front row, left to right: David, Josh, the Charles, Ben. :) YAY!
