Best Date Ever

Y'all should be jealous of me and how rad my mom is.  This year she decided to stop being a boring adult and to do stuff, like kayak and play laser tag.  Seriously, my parents and some of their other empty-nester friends played laser tag for a date a while back. After making fun of her a bit for playing laser tag with a bunch of high school students, I became bored with me and Greg's typical date where a trip to Target after diner is living on the edge.  And then, I saw an amazing Groupon for a zombie hunt and sent it to Greg.  He didn't want to do it because he didn't want to get attacked by a zombie.  But I bought the tickets and invited a few friends anyway.  We went last Friday night (it's Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday.) 

And it was amazing.

Seriously this is what we did: first we waited.  For nearly three hours.  It was pretty crowded.   I had a pretty fun date and most of my friends were there so we gossiped around the bon fire and checked in with our babysitters every half hour (really, though, so lame--the checking in with the babysitters).   

After the waiting, things got real.  We loaded onto a truck, got our paintball guns, and set off.  As we were driving to the zombie infected areas, the tour guide asked, "How do you kill a zombie?"  Shoot it in the head, obviously.  "That's right," she said.  "You SHOOT IT IN THE HEAD."  And then we entered the infected area and real people (dressed as zombies--zombies aren't real) charged our truck and we got to SHOOT THEM IN THE HEAD.  And the best part--they weren't armed.  That's right, we got to shoot paint balls at unarmed people while they walked and we drove.  I got one guy in the eye--twice (he had a motorcycle helmet on).  Most fun I've had in a long while.

And then we went home and paid our babysitter a million dollars because I thought we'd be back by 9 at the latest.  We walked in at 12:30.  Ooops.

We bought these Groupons back in September, so I had plenty of time to plan all the awesome pictures I was going to take to post on Instagram and right here on this blog and all the funny things I was going to say to go along with them.

Get ready for them

Yeah, I need to work on that whole flash at night thing.  I still have the memories.

And then on Saturday, Greg found this video.  Looks like we have more to fear than zombies.
