Ryan and I took the kids to a park last weekend and started to teach Maggie and Will some tennis. There was lots of laughter and chasing of balls. I have not played in at least 11 years, so I was just a little rusty! Will has been begging to go back and try again soon. Hopefully we can turn it into a family sport.
This weekend is fall break, and I had a fun day with Will all to himself yesterday. I asked him what he wanted to do, and he wanted to take a walk along the Wolf River trail. We did that after dropping Maggie and Meredith off at Mother's Day Out. It turned out to be a warm morning. Along the trail, we came upon a box turtle and Will almost stepped on a garter snake on a grassy trail. Later we had some pizza melts for lunch, then he helped me make Rice Krispie treats. After that he went with Ryan to Barnes and Noble.
I have been so thankful for the few days of not having to get him to school so that we can have a somewhat restful morning!
Below are a few pictures from the last month:

These last three are of the kids receiving some medals at our gym for logging 50 miles in the walking class they have for kids. Ms. Wanda is their "coach," and she is so sweet!
