Doug invited everyone to participate in a family tennis match this summer. We had had an informal one in Bloomington last year and he wanted to keep the tradition alive. He was pleased that Cal, Meg, Cam and Hannah-Marie were keen on the idea as well. Today was the date agreed upon and this afternoon everyone met up at the newly renovated Wawasee Middle School courts. As HM arrived a little later than the rest of us the match started as rotating doubles teams between Cal, Cam, Doug and Meg. Cal had a healthy lead when Hannah-Marie arrived and continued to earn points when the teams were shuffled once again.
I could no longer play tennis, but had a lot of fun watching them. Cal hadn't played in awhile, but looked just like he did before. He was impressed with how well Meg and Cam could return his serves. Of course he never said that during the match as he was too busy trashing talking everyone. Meg, Cam and Doug held their own on the courts making Cal work for his points. HM did not play tennis in high school, but definitely would have made a great doubles partner. We celebrated with dinner afterward at Mad Anthony's. Doug was happy that everyone took time out of their busy weekend to play tennis with him. I just enjoyed listening to everyone all together.
