One of our aims for the year was to continue playing tennis. We both had a course of group lessons last year, which left us wanting more. Unfortunately, I can't serve, remember how to do forehand/backhand or hit the ball. After a quick refresher from you tube, clutching my new racket we pottered off to the tennis courts, wait for it, with the kids. Neither our social networking or pocket is up to babysitters at the moment, so they had to come to.
Our local courts are individually fenced and floodlight. So we get the kids set up in the corner with food and toys and then fail to rally. They generally play for about 20 minutes, before Evan starts to get bored and wanders across the court. He really is quite determined to get his mitts on the racket, and Carys makes a good ball girl. Howard and I are usually still trying to warm up by this point, so little progress is made. Its quite a nice family outing, and we get to see the sunset across the bay.
It somehow feels like we're trying to keep up with the Brouns in Lesotho. First the year away, then the blog, and now tennis. Did we mention we had the neighbours round for cards......
