Racketball anyone?


So I decided to do three things when I got home. Play tennis, volleyball, and golf. The tennis and golf is so my dad and I could have some fun bonding activities we could do together. My dad is a huge sports nut. In high school he played every sport you could think of, tennis being one of them. I asked him a couple days ago if we could play tennis together and he said, "Well, what about racketball?"
They're almost the same right? So this morning we got up and went to the rec center where we have a membership. I found out that my dad hasn't been to the rec center since October of last year. :) Though a sports nut he has gotten really busy over the years, what with raising kids and all and he hasn't kept in much shape. Hopefully that will change. As you can see by my red round face we worked up a good sweat. Not to soft but not to hard either, just perfect for both of us.
I realized that to keep a friendship alive and well you have to nurture it and that is the point of me doing this with my dad. Not to mention it's just plain fun to hit a ball around and "accidently" hit the ball in the middle of my dad's back (It was an accident actually, I'm not that good. It was only my first try)(first try playing racketball, not hitting my dad in the back). So not only does my body feel good from running after a little blue ball, but my heart feels good to knowing that my dad and I are building a friendship.
