Tennis

Rylan decided awhile back that he really wanted to take tennis lessons.  I've been trying to get him into a set through Williamson County Parks and Rec but none have lined up to work with our schedule so far.  I'm really hoping to find a class this summer that is at the Indoor Sports Complex which is where Carter had his home swim meets last year.  Tennis in the summer has to be so much more pleasant indoors!

Carter and Rylan have been hitting tennis balls with our old racquetball rackets in the road lately so I decided to surprise the boys with their own rackets.  We actually had nothing after school today so after picking the boys up from school, we headed over to Crockett Park to try out "real" tennis.

We played for about an hour and Gray was a perfect angel (SURPRISE!!!).  He even let me have my racket most of the time and he just watched us as we moved around the court.

At first the boys tried hitting back and forth to one another.

That ended up with a lot of standing around so eventually it was the two of them against me.  Rylan stood around mid-court and Carter stood behind him at the back of the court.  Rylan would miss a little over half of the balls and Carter would hit a lot of those.

It actually worked out really well.  The boys and I had a lot of fun and we are looking forward to playing again when we have some free time!!!
