Day 130- NO ONE BEATS THE PHOENIX! (July 19)

We were all still tired from driving all day, but the night was still young when we checked in to our hotel in Winnipeg. Young enough that we decided to have a little competitive family fun. Fun, as in,
LASER TAAAAAAAAAAG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Laser tag is fun.
Dad bought us each two games. The games each lasted 15 minutes. We agreed to have one game be 'everyone for themselves' and for the other to be teams.
1st Game:
As soon as we were released into the sweaty game zone, we had ten seconds to hide. I decided to scope out the top floor first. There was a perfect, little secret corner on the top floor; protected from two sides, with one open to the rest of the top floor and the other overlooking the bottom floor. I sniped Dad at least four times from his 'secret' hiding spot on the ground floor. Once people realised that I had a 'spot', they all ganged up on me. I used my hair to its advantage, it properly covered my shoulder targets and obscured my back target. This resulted in many frustrated grunts when I heard missed gun shots from behind me, then nailed my would-be assassin right on the chest. It was beautiful.
I won that game. The Phoenix got the most points, which means I probably hit most people in the shoulders from my high vantage point. Mom got 'Most Accurate' and Melanie was awarded 'Most Enthusiastic'.
2nd Game:
As was declared earlier, we decided to play this game as teams. Our original plan was to have teams of two, to make three teams. This is not what happened. Three small blond kids walked in and declared themselves another team. We had a 3-on-3-on-3 battle. The blond kids were kicking our sorry butts, but Team Magenta (moi, Mom and Mel) ended up kicking everyone's sorry butts. Mom got the most points, but I got 'Most Accurate' and Mel got 'Most Enthusiastic' for a second time. The boys lost. They lost badly. Suckers.

After the game, we stopped off at a Greek diner for a quick supper before we went to see "The Secret Life Of Pets". People could argue with me for a while, but I still say Kevin Hart was the best part of that movie.
