Weekend Warrior

Weekend Warrior-1
I thought long about whether to post this image. In the end, I relented. I was hesitant because of my feelings about guns, even if they are paintball guns. I relented because this was such a raw and true image of M. in that moment. This was his second time out on the range (field? is there a special name for it). He and the other boys at the birthday party had just finished about an hour or so of running around, tagging, and evading, culminating with target practice on faded images of deer on plywood. He was injured and spent, but very pleased that mommy had relented.
