My Grandma at 80 years young!

IMG_0555 This weekend we celebrated my Grandma Smith's birthday! Who do you know at 80 years old requests for her birthday to play tennis in the HOT Texas heat????? So, those of us who could.....got out and played with her! Well, not much keeps my grandmother off the tennis court! IMG_0537

IMG_0534 IMG_0541 I bet you my dad will still be playing tennis at 80! He definitely topped us all out there, even with a "bad" knee. It's the left-handed wicked spin, I think. IMG_0562 IMG_0545

IMG_0549 Some of us grandkids got out there too! My cousins, Lane & Whitney made a great team. But I think age & experience won over youth, right? IMG_0531 IMG_0551

IMG_0569 I didn't get pics of Uncle Dara & myself, but we played too! It really was lots of fun. I wonder if I will still be able to play at 80?? All I know is that my body sure felt the "fun" last night! From the mouth of Grandma: "It was the best birthday present I could have asked for!" Happy Birthday, We love you! (more pics to come from the birthday party as well!)
