Tennis Anyone?

Waaaay back in September Linus used to tell me he was going to get me a tennis racket for my birthday.  He made good on his promise and gifted me with a tennis racket and balls for my birthday in October.  Linus also picked up a racket for himself.    In order to keep everyone safe, the tennis rackets were moved to our garage and have sat there for several months now.

We finally brought the tennis rackets out of storage.   Linus and Dave broke them in last week while I was in Nebraska.  Dave put it in Linus' head today that even though it was only in the upper 30s, it would be really fun to go play tennis with Mommy.  These days Linus' memory is like a steel trap and once he hears something, he doesn't let it go.  So with the sun shining and the wind blowing, we all headed to Greenlake to play a little tennis after nap.

I don't know how to play tennis.  I am really awful at Wii tennis.  Luckily, this doesn't matter to a three year old.  Eileen was just excited to be outside.

Did I mention that Eileen finally started walking this past week?

Ready for action

There was some serious action on the court.  Andy Roddick look out!

We had a great time.  Linus did manage to score on me.  The brutally cold wind drove us back indoors after only a short while. I will be demanding a re-match as soon as it warms up a little bit.
