My "boys" are a constant source of entertainment for me! They keep me laughing with all of their crazy antics. Today's game of tennis became a new sport! I'm not quite sure what to call it.
Our family often will find some form of exercise that we all can do together- biking, hiking, surfing, to name a few. Lately we've been going to the local tennis courts. We often bring the dog, who loves to get in our way, and also fetches the tennis balls for us (when she feels like it!)!

Mitch and Lizzy take a break!After our usual rounds, the guys start a version they created called "Speed Tennis". It's by far more active than the other rounds, and requires constant moving and switching places on the courts. (IF you want more "rules" you'll have to request them on your own!). Anyway, we played that for a while until we all got worn out.
TJ had double protection!
TJ had double protection!Ben and Mikki decided to don their roller skates and skate around the park, while I took the dog on a walk. Mitch and TJ continued to play tennis. Pretty soon we're all meandering around the courts again, when a new games starts up, only this time, it's not exactly tennis. With Ben still rolling around the tennis courts on his Landroller skates, TJ and Mitch start shooting him with the balls, and thus becomes something of a "Hit the moving target" game. Needless to say, the game caught on pretty well and everyone was laughing and running and trying to hit the balls while Ben bravely fought off his "attackers". Then Ben decided to get a racket and, while rolling, try to hit them back. We are really bad shots, fortunately and noone got hurt. But we sure did get worn out. Even Lizzy took a tired break!
Alas, a day in the life of the Greers here in sunny southern California!!
Colossians 3:23-24
"And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ."

What a great way to get some family exercise!
We are back! We are all well and still on Germany time (9hours ahead of us). We are looking forward to being sleepy at night and awake during the day - and we hope it won't take too long :).
I hope your concert went well and the demand for the Greer Family Singers is up.
Lizzy looks great and she "fits" well with your family.
No one in Germany ever heard of salty licorice! But I found some for you which I hope is strong enough. We also brought back some CHOCOLATE for you. We just have to figure out how to give it to you :).
Love,
Anita for the Atwells3764abidata
