A little heartbreak won't stop this family from spending time together.

One day after Mama June and Sugar Bear Thompson announced their shocking split, the reality TV family was hard at work filming scenes for their upcoming season.

Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson joined her dad and older sisters Lauryn "Pumpkin" Shannon and Jessica "Chubbs" Shannon for a day of paintballing near the family home in McIntyre, Ga.

Cameras were rolling as Alana put on her mask and prepared to take on her dad and competitive sisters. Holler if you think Alana can beat them!

The much-needed family outing comes after Mama June and Sugar Bear called it quits on their special, and somewhat unique, relationship.

"Sugar Bear and I have decided to take some time apart to figure out some things in our relationship," the pair said in a statement to E! News. "We are taking things day by day, but regardless of what happens, the girls will always be our number one priority. We want to thank y'all for your support."

The pair's relationship has been chronicled on the popular TLC reality show, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. Although the couple never married, they did exchange vows during a televised commitment ceremony. 

"Never settle for a man who doesn't treat you right," June said at the time. "If a guy doesn't love everything about you, move on! There are plenty of other fish in the sea."

E! News can confirm Mama June stopped wearing her wedding ring after she discovered Sugar Bear surfing on online dating sites.

For now, cameras will continue to capture the family's changing dynamic for the show's fifth season.

As of today, the gang appears to be putting on a happy face. Just look at Alana's shirt she wore on Friday when the news broke.

"Laughter Is The Best Exercise," her tank top read as she enjoyed some soda in the neighborhood.

A positive attitude: Just one of the many reasons we love this family!
