Tennis with Dad and the athletic bunch

We took the kids up to the high school to play some tennis. The white line on the pictures is the net line. Poor Oaklee barely made it that high. Brian would hit them a ball and they were supposed to hit it back. This pic is them practicing their swings.
Charlee got pretty good and could return the balls. Jaxson got the hang of it by the end and could return a couple. Oaklee, on the other hand couldn't hit anything, but shortly realized her calling of being the ball shagger and had a blast. This is how Brian showed them how to swing.
At the end, Brian hit the ball against the wall hard and the kids thought he was the greatest tennis player alive. I think it gave Brian a self- esteem boost to have them think he was awesome.
Oh, and I think he is pretty awesome, too.

That is just the cutest thing ever, It reminds me of the times we took our kids to 'play' tennis. Tennis rackets came in handy for baseball too.....much easier to hit the ball!
