Sports - where do we begin. Baseball and softball run in my blood. I started watching at a very young age and playing at age 10. I was excited for our boys to be of age to play sports. And so it began. When Garhett was around 3 or 4, we enrolled him in a variety of sports so that he could be exposed to a little of everything. When we arrived in Boise, we signed him up for soccer, he played for a couple of seasons, and didn't care for it too much. Then he tried baseball. He started in T-Ball, went through Coach Pitch, and this past fall he was old enough to advance to "real" baseball. This is where the kids actually pitch. Fall ball was the deal breaker for Garhett. He lost his love for the game. So we were back at the drawing board of what sport to try next.
We have a rule that our kids have to play some type of sport to stay active. We don't care what sport they play as long they enjoy doing it. I asked Garhett what sport he would like to try next. Off the cuff he said, "Tennis." "Tennis? Okay, I will research where you can go for lessons." So I found a place that teaches entry level tennis lessons to youth.
Tonight was Garhett's first night of tennis practice. Unfortunately, mom wasn't able (aloud) to go, so before dad left with Garhett, I made him take the camera to capture this moment. Here is Garhett enjoying his first tennis practice.

Tennis, eh?
That's actually pretty cool!
fun shots too :)
Tennis? That's great! Gregg would LOVE to get Dallin involved in tennis, how do I sign up?
Tennis is a great sport. Jason and I had a hard time finding a place to play in AZ because all the snow-birds hogged the courts. So, if he clicks with tennis, he can play for another 70 years. That would make your lessons a bargain!
