Unexpected Numbers

Sunday proved quite
fun, if slightly unexpected. We had about 16 people
singed up to play. However, about 30 showed up!
Attendees ran the gamut from complete families, to teenagers (including a few visiting from Haiti), to twenty-something computer gamers. Kevin and I immediately went into management mode, as most of these people had not played laser tag before. We only brought 16 sets of equipment. Boy that was a mistake. But at least we brought the Game Controller, unlike the week before.
With 16 players on the the field, we ran timed games of 15 minutes each, and swapped gear onto the next bunch of people. This way each set of players had 15 minutes to talk over the glories of the previous game.
The weather was absolutely fabulous. Sunny and a temperature of 75F. The foliage was still green, fall colors had not yet started. So after each game started, Kevin and I got a chance to admire the scenery and listen to the birds, while each watermelon from the snack table.
Hard to imagine doing anything else.
