Tennis anyone?

Wednesday, September 8, 2010

Fun Fact for the Day: My hubby actually went to Northeast on a tennis scholarship. Yes, I know. He's pretty great! I, on the other hand, played one sport: softball in fifth grade...in which I played right field every other inning and wore sliding shorts for a fashion statement. He married well, didn't he? Oh well!

One night a couple of weeks ago, Russ decided he wants to start playing tennis again. You see, I haven't made a very good tennis partner over these past five years seeing as how I make more home runs than anything else. Maybe if he liked to play baseball... I happily agreed to join him on the tennis courts. I'm trying to be a good wife and pretend to enjoy the things he enjoys. We asked Jenny and Jeff to join us for a little mixed doubles. Is that what it's called? I don't even know! We had a great time! I hit LOTS of home runs, as expected. But, Russ was patient and never asked for a new partner.

The Mansel crew minus Will - Seth and Grace were wonderful ball boy/girl!

The athletic couple! Ha! This is probably what Russ wanted to do during the whole game!

Us with Russ's big bucket of balls!

After a fun and HOT game of tennis, we wanted to get a good ole' Corinth snow cone. It was closed, so we settled for Sonic.

Mmmmm.....

So...NO. I'm still not a pro. But, I do enjoy playing tennis with my family!

Tennis anyone?
