Tennis anyone?

We are very fortunate to have beautiful sunny weather during this time of year, especially when folks out east are suffering from snow storms. So of course we have to take advantage of our great weather and do something outside during winter break. So the boys and cousin Isabel went to Mommy's tennis camp again. Our friends Brandon and Julia also joined us. This is probably the 4th time the kids have gotten out on the court and tried to really play tennis and you can see the improvements happening. Aside from feeding them a bag full of balls, we also play with these foam balls that are the size of softballs. The great thing about these balls is that they bounce well and slow, perfect pace for the kids to hone their timing. If you have kids and are looking to get them into tennis, go invest in some of these balls (you can find them at Wal-Mart 3/$4). Leyton can bounce the ball in front of him and hit it over the net now and Lincoln is getting much better at holding his tennis racket correctly and making contact with the ball. They'll shape up into my little "Federers" before you know it! What a great way to end the year!
