Tennis

This morning we took the boys out to play tennis! After much consideration we thought that this is something that they would/could excel at. At nearly 4, 5, and 6 we don't have to worry about sign ups, uniforms, physicals, and ridiculous practice times and games -- this seems to be the way to go for now.

Saturday we went to a neato sporting goods store and purchased tennis racquets for Spiderboy and Bubba (Snookie is still a little to, um, green to swing a racquet).

I would definitely say that our first outing at the courts was a successful one. We should the boys the proper way to hold the racquets, and began the process of introductions to ball handling. I think our next outing will be even more fun. I think the hardest part was keeping Snookie occupied. At one point I simply left DH with Bubba and Spiderboy, and sat on the court with Snookie and played 'floor tennis' with him (just rolling the ball back and forth between the two of us)... and that just seemed to make his day!

I think the boys were slightly disappointed that we were just going to let them swing the racquets around and see if they hit things, but when all was said and done I think they were proud of themselves for the steps they made with what we did!
