Tennis Time!

 Riley got to take tennis lessons this summer and it was so fun!

I wasn't sure how five 4 year olds learning tennis would go but they really did great!

Here's the girls ready to hit the courts!

 Coach Tom was GREAT and he made is so fun and understandable for them!  First they went around checking out all the lines and learning what they meant!

 Then a little game of freeze tag to break things up!

 First he taught them some swings using just their hands...sort of like giving him a high five!

Then he handed them rackets and they were so excited!

 This was a game called Jail Break...if the girls didn't hit the ball over the net they had to go to the other side and be in jail.  They could get out of jail by catching a ball.  Riley did great and never wound up in jail!

 Learning the backhand stroke!

 My little tennis girl!  She did great!  This was a casual set up and I knew Riley would only get to go for a few weeks before we left on our trip but it was worth it and hopefully we can pick it up again when we get back!

Tessa stayed in the stroller so the likelihood of her getting hit with a wandering tennis ball stayed at a minimum!
