An Afternoon Of Tennis

So Dad delivered today on his promise and took the girls to play some tennis.

This time, only one court was occupied (with some of the world's worst tennis being played on it) and there were no puddles of water for stray balls to find.

Unfortunately, not everyone was in the mood, so very little tennis was played. However, Lauren held out the longest - and earned a "private" lesson with Dad. She is now proficient in standing in the "ready" position and hitting with both her forehand and backhand.

Here are some photos you can compare with our previous tennis outings in October of 2006 and August of 2005.
Olivia did not want to play tennis.
Veronica enjoys shagging balls and dragging a racket around.
Julia probably should have pulled her hair back.
Emily insists on hitting the ball as hard as she can.
Lauren is making solid contact with the ball these days.
