The biggest significance of the 21st birthday is that it is the moment where someone turns into an “adult”. The age of 21 is widely considered to be the age where you are no longer dependant on your parents. You are completely out of the ‘teen bracket’ with no turning back: you're an adult. You've had a few years to get over the "let’s go get drunk!” stage, probably moved out of your parents home and have been in the work force for a number of years, getting your adult life on track.
Considering all of the above, Aaron & Danielle decided to do something different for their 21st birthdays. Something unique. Not the usual unruly pub crawls through town. Something they would remember. Something special…
They decided to go…PAINTBALLING!!!
We met at 9.15am sharp outside Delta Force’s Zuluwood Paintballing Centre with an army of friends, family and co-workers - most of us with game plans in mind, others just to go out and let off some steam! The group of 16 were divided for the day into two teams of 8 - Purples versus Yellows. After the first couple of games both teams were tied on points and it went to down to the very last game to decide the overall winners. Purple team won in style as Aaron, in the last game, retrieved the Yellow’s flag to clinch all 10 points.
The day ended on a high and although tired, aching and bruised, a select few braved the Bolton nightlife to put an end to highly successful, and thoroughly enjoyable day.
And they all lived happily ever after…
The End.
