Tennis with a large family

One day, after a long day at the park with the kids and our homeschooling friends, my husband came home with two new tennis rackets and a container of tennis balls.  He was ready, after a long day at work, to go play tennis with me!  How could I resist?  We stopped by and picked up a couple of pizzas, and went to the park.  We set the kids up on a blanket near the courts, with lots of pizza and cold water.  Then we played tennis.  Or tried.  It is a good workout, and the weather was lovely.  After some practice, we were able to keep the ball going for several hits!  But before that, we were mostly running after stray balls.  After the kids ate pizza, they wanted to play.  But first we gave them another job, fetching the stray balls so mommy and daddy didn't have to run around so much :) And that's how you play tennis with just two rackets and 7 people.  And yes, the kids got their turn, too ;)
