Backyard tennis
December 3rd, 2008
A nice, windy evening for a spot of tennis. Not everyone has a backyard, but tennis can provide hours of fun and a little bit of walking if you have enough grass at your disposal, either on the block or in a nearby park. Tonight, before the sun had started setting, we spent a good half hour outside: throw the ball, ball is hit, race to see who can collect the ball. A mean double-handed forehand results in the occasional moment of risk to dad. These $2 tennis balls are akin to doggie chew-toys, they fly like missiles. There is lots of time for weeding, and saying hello to the guinea pigs, and practicing handstands. Eventually, we adjourn inside for some Uno, some dinner, and some reading before bed.
