Trenton's Birthday Celebration

WE HAVE A TEENAGER!!  Trenton turned 13 today!  He celebrated with a few of his closest friends yesterday with some pizza and paintball.  

Trenton is an AMAZING young man.  He is a natural leader who is respected by his peers at school and church.  He doesn't let much bother him.  He has set high standards for himself and avoids hanging out with those who don't share such standards.  He is an excellent student (although he inherited his father's procrastination).  He is a saver rather than a spender, and doesn't value material belongings much.  He is helpful at home, often watching his younger siblings.  He is currently busy developing his talents in fencing, the flute, and Boy Scouts.

Love the full face masks they had to wear!

 These look like some pretty bad dudes, don't you think?  The paintball place they went to was quite impressive.  It was an outdoor arena across 40 acres, much of it wooded.  They spent a lot of time crawling on their stomachs to find hiding spots.  They played with 15 other players in their group, but there were around 150 people playing in the entire arena.  They had a great time with just one minor injury and a few paintball welts.
