tennis anyone?

Last friday Owen told me that he wanted to be a tennis player when he grew up. So friday night, Peter bought the girls new rackets and gave their old ones to the boys so we could go play saturday morning. We went to the high school and it actually was really fun. Last time we took the kids (before we moved to AZ) it didn't turn out so well. There was no crying...in fact the only complaint was the heat and we didn't bring enough cold water to drink. We'll have to prepare a little better next time.





The kids each had a turn having a little lesson with Peter. They all did really good, even Jake had a few hits by himself. We'll have to keep this up cause it was really fun to spend the time together as a family doing something different.
