Today, we met with our homeschool group at a local park for our first P.E. Adventure for the 2011-2012 School Year! The kiddos are used to doing things here, but we have never really stepped out of our comfort zone - Well, today, we played tennis! I had not told the kiddos prior what we were doing as the weather was very iffy and I was not sure if we would even be able to go. Thankfully, the rain cleared and we were able to attend. I am glad because it was SO much fun! Robert and Hannah had never so much as held a racket, but today they did that AND hit tennis balls!
Here are some of the highlights from the day:

Robert and Hannah have already told me that we need to buy rackets and balls so that we can play again! I definitely think this is something we will be doing again soon!
I am so happy they had such a good time!! You can but rackets for about $15-$20 at places like Wal-Mart and Target...:) The big beginner balls are usually only found at a tennis shop--but they seemed to do GREAT with just regular ones! I do advise using the ones that are RED and yellow...:) (or red and orange) These are balls more suited for beginners...
