Wordless Wednesday: Snow Tennie!!

Stump Kids Snow Play

The weekend brought with it a few inches of snow, which meant the Stump Kids wanted to play! Our favorite winter game is "snow tennie"--get the tennis ball from hiding, throw it in the snow a couple of times and let LaMesa roll it around until it's covered with snow, and there you go! Snow tennie!

Open gate = more room to run to chase the tennie! 

Collisions are the norm when it comes to the Stump Kids playing tennis...

Tennie Time!!

The temperatures are getting warmer (as if this hasn't been an oddly-warm winter anyway) and it's starting to stay light later (yay!), so we've been doing more walks in the park after work and after I get back from the gym.

The girls especially love when we walk by the tennis courts because they can always find a rogue tennis ball nearby that they try to steal (and some times we let them).

Their most absolute favorite thing is to play "tennie ball." Dally always loved it, and I guess she passed it onto LaMesa.

So I've included a video to show them playing tennie yesterday, with a brand new ball LaMesa stole from the tennis courts (mind you, we have a whole bag/box full of tennis balls thanks to the annual Doggy Paddle). And, yes, it was warm enough on Wednesday that Matt was wearing shorts and a T-shirt!
