A Little Game of Tennis

Yesterday, my family and I headed out of doors to enjoy this beautiful weather and play a game of tennis.  I was on the tennis team in high school and have always enjoyed the game.  However, I haven't held a racket or been on a court in years.  Many, many years.  I had a blast, produced lots of sweat, got some sun and had a marvelous time.  My husband and I noted that this would be a great way to spend date night (when we have the opportunity).  I also want our future family outings to revolve more around physical activity.  Normally, we see a film or go out for dinner or go to a museum.  But a family swim or a game of kick ball or tennis is just as much fun and shows our children that physical activity is a part of our everyday life.  Here are a couple shots from yesterday's game:

How fun! Good for you, getting out and getting some sun and exercise! It's always a plus when you enjoy yourself while you get a good work out.

Finding an activity that is fun rather than drudgery makes such a difference. How great that you can share tennis with your family.

My new passion is stand up paddleboarding. I think about it all week now and can't wait for my weekends when I can get out on the lake.

Sarah, can you share which juicer you ended up purchasing and how well you like it?

Hi there Little Edie! I set out to buy a Breville juicer but they were out of stock. So, being the impatient consumer that I am, I ended up with a Jack Lalanne brand. I like it alright, but the white plastic is already starting to show signs of discoloration. And when I juice leafy greens, I really have to baby it. But generally, it works very well for me.
