We asked the kids what they wanted to do after chores today, and since the weather was nice they asked to go to the tennis courts.
Daddy has a lot of tennis experience, and he has taken Joy to the courts a few times, but the rest of us have virtually never held a racket. Our outing basically consisted of Daddy serving us easy balls to hit (or not).
Anna was excited to try out the new little racket we got her for Christmas.
She and Joy even tried playing doubles against Daddy (who went very, very easy on them).
My tennis experience basically consists of a single week in a high school PE class, but the girls made it look so fun that I gave it a try today, too.
Daniel initially declared that he just wanted to collect stray tennis balls . . .
. . . but in the end even he couldn't resist picking up a racket and returning some of Daddy's serves.
Todd was content to just carry a ball and his little doggie around the whole time. We ended up playing for a couple hours, and everyone came home happy.
