Dr Tro posted about how weekends can be tough for people ….. To keep busy and away from the kitchen, some of my kids, my husband and I have been playing a lot of free tennis on the town courts. ( If your town does not have courts, check your local high school. Sometimes the tennis courts are open to the public during the summer.) Some tennis racquets at Walmart for only 13$. Bags of pressure-less tennis balls are super cheap at Amazon and they last longer than the expensive pressurized kind in the sporting goods stores. Super cheap family fun!! When we started we called it “close enough” tennis. We returned what ever we could get, not worrying about how many bounces or if it was in the court. If we could return it we did, if we could not we just took a ball out of our pocket…. no breaks in the “play”. We also did not keep score so it was all just fun. No judgment, no crabbing allowed. We played like that all last year and this year everyone has gotten so much better we could play a game… but that would slow the play and make it less fun so we don’t!! I hope this helps anyone looking for some cheap family fun, far from the kitchen!
