Eli turns 12 with a chocolate long john donut and a candle.
His party was officially a paintball affair. It was cold and miserable for bystanders like me, but the kids that came along didn't care one bit.
Eli was a bit menacing in his mask.
Some last minute instructions from the Dude.
I would seriously run like I was in the movie Deliverance if I saw these characters.
They started a little slow. Kinda like they didn't know what to do.
Four hours later, they were practically pros at this stuff. Eli's time on the couch, seemingly being wasted by playing Call of Duty, came in handy as he was a driving force in some of the wins.
He capped the week off by practicing with a drill, a saw, a file, and some wood. That resulted in a trip to the hardware store for some more wood that he swears he wants to build into a chair. We shall see!
