Tennis Anyone?
OMGoodness, it has been about TWENTY years since I have played tennis…I am feeling so old!
The family, well we have been trying to get outside (now that it’s not so flippin’ cold) and get some exercise on the weekends…we do live in an area known for it’s outdoorsy recreation like hiking, biking and skiing (I’d much rather be outdoorsy on a nice sandy beach somewhere).
Sam has been begging us for a tennis racket and some balls, that’s were this all started…off we go to the park with the tennis courts to let the kids hit some balls.
Ya know when your sitting there watching somebody do something fun and you have that urge to just get up and do it too?! Well, that’s what happened to Cody and I today…we had so much fun trying to play tennis…we’ve never laughed so hard. I think the kids enjoyed watching their (out of shape) mom and dad having some fun.
I played tennis in high school and other than basketball it was my favorite sport to play. I got to play on the doubles team with my best friend Shelley. Anyway, that was almost twenty years ago!!! Needless to say my brain knew what to do, but my body was like, um, no, I don’t think so, sweetness! What?! My brain kept trying to go for the ball, only to find my feet still planted safely right were I started. I’m sure I looked quite silly.
We had a blast though and have made a promise to keep it up…ya know, the getting out with all these other crazy outdoorsy people, getting in shape and having some family fun.
