Family tennis

We went as a family to play tennis at the park one Saturday last month. Spencer was trying out some loaner rackets from Tennis Warehouse in SLO to see which one he wanted to buy. He had borrowed one of his coach's rackets during the tennis season, and it was time for him to get his own.

Levi was more interested in roller blading around the park.

Spencer prefers to play singles, so he went on one side and played against the other 3 boys. 

After a little while, these two got antsy and needed to go on a little walk around the park. 




You would think that tennis and racquetball would be very similar, but apparently there are some major differences. For example, Dave can't slide to get to the ball. He tried that once and came home with some mean abrasions.  

The outing was successful - Spencer chose his favorite racket, and we were ready to bite and bullet and buy it. It was $175, and we told him we'd pay half. But when Dave went to buy it, he learned that it was on clearance for $54! Woohoo!! Perhaps we should have bought two.

 The younger boys had fun making a silly tennis video. 

 Watching a replay - they crack themselves up.

Such concentration!
