"You’ll Shoot Your Eye Out!"

December 28, 2010 by Michelle Hinckley |

Last night at 1800 hours we all met for 5 rounds of Nerf combat training.

These ain’t no games for the faint of heart.


It was the Sergent’s vs. the Rookies.

Casualties are common (as well as pouting).
One hit, you’re out.

Wouldn’t you know it in the last round I took a Nerf dart to the eye. I really did shoot my eye out! 12 hours later I still see only black out of the bottom portion of my right eye.

After a visit to the eye doctor today I will be purchasing eye protection for everyone or those d#@* guns will be in the garbage.

    We had a similarly epic battle over Thanksgiving between my fiance, his sister (a police detective), a niece, two nephews, and one excited golden retriever. It was awesome.

    Oh no! But can I just say that every single picture made me laugh because it’s exactly what I’m seeing right now as I type this comment. It’s utter chaos and I can’t wait for warmer weather so those blasted guns can be taken outside!!! ;-D

    too cute! {not the getting-shot-in-the-eyeball part}

    such good parents, playing with your kids like this. I know a lot of parents that wouldn’t allow that kind of activity indoors. so refreshing to see this ๐Ÿ™‚

    My kiddos got Nerf guns for Christmas as we also had a ‘war’ last night. Next time my brothers come over, I’m hiding those damn things!!

    This is a re-inactment of The Famous Gunfight at the OK Corral…Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday are knocking of the bad guys right and left…Only trouble is Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday are themselves getting knocked off.
