TENNIS


Tennis has arrived in our home. I have no idea why we’ve not tried this before! Mike was quite good in high school…part of a winning doubles team.

Monday we walked to the park with 3 rackets and one ball. Not a great plan…especially since the ball may have been around since BreAnne was a toddler. Mike ran the kids through drills and basics. We left the park with a list of things I needed to buy. Tuesday found Josiah and I at Wal-mart where we picked up: JR rackets for Arielle, Nolan and Zander, a dozen new balls that BoUnCe!, and a tennis bag to carry it all in.


We’ve spent quite a few afternoons/evenings investigating this new family activity. We are dreaming of fun, fitness and all on a price the budget can afford! I look forward to the day when they know the basics well enough to give Mike a workout on the court!


Just the basics
