Tennis Dates

We had a truly delightful weekend. We had wonderful weather and many opportunities to have healthy family leisure. (Yes, there were some errands, but overall, there was a lot of chilling as a family outside.) We're fortunate enough to have a park across the street from our home and another park two blocks away, with a tennis court. I was able to give Maddy some of her first tennis lessons on both Saturday and Sunday. She did well, and, she seems to enjoy it -- a plus! She was excited to have tennis dates with her dad. Equally enjoyable was hitting the ball around with Mares afterward. The girls would play at the park next to the court while Mares and I played a bit. Lovely, indeed.

PS. Notice our great little ball girl and tennis racket carrier. Pita was excited to carry our rackets and run after our balls. I would hold around 9 balls and pitch them to Madge. After she hit them, Pita would run around the court collecting. Thank God for our little ball girl. (...and no tennis ball bruises to the head!)
