First Tennis Lesson

Daddy was so excited to buy Olivia her first tennis racket, she chose a Dora the Explorer racket! Vincent had an early morning lesson for an hour and we decided to just hang out by the courts until the lesson was over so that he could play with Olivia. We brought a coloring book and, yes, CANDY to keep her occupied. As soon as the student showed up and daddy shut the gate to the court Olivia started crying - she kept saying, "no, my daddy." It was so sad. Here she is mystified as to why daddy is playing with another girl.

Luckily, the hour flew by and Olivia was finally able to get on court.

She doesn't have very good skills yet.

Looks like the beginning of a nice serve.

Olivia was definitely more interested in running around the court which she did for about 15 minutes. She was worn out and had a good nap :) Tennis is definitely something that this girl will keep up! Another video was supposed to upload here but for some reason won't. I will try again later.
