Ted, you may have just hit it. I liked the idea of paintball. The prices were not too bad. I don't have a way to transport the kids that far. The quality of parenting has gone downhill. If the other parents have to work or drive more than 10 minutes, attendence drops dramatically. I am still amazed at the number of kids that get dumped off at the end of my driveway without introduction and unsure of the return ride home. If I have it at my house (about 10 minutes from town) attendence is good. if we try the lasertron or something in the larger town 30 minutes away, very few make the ride.
