It’s All About the Ball!

This is on one of the Jaguars’ inspirational posters this season. My grandsons have already figured this out! We have been spending an hour each day at the high school athletic fields while my granddaughter is “conditioning” for the upcoming swim season. Basically the conditioning is all about running and getting back in shape before school starts. For the boys though, it’s all about the ball. It started in the Bahamas with a couple of rackets and balls we checked out. After that gravitating to the high school tennis courts was a no brainer. They found one nice clean yellow tennis ball by the courts and a not so pretty one in the bushes that had been through a couple of afternoon thunderstorms and since we didn’t have rackets you might guess that it really was all about the ball. The old dirty one got tucked into the backpack under the bug spray and water bottles to take home to Fred and the newer ball became the focus of a number of throwing and chasing games, by boys, not the dog. Today we dug out the badminton rackets so the game’s new focus was keeping your eye on the birdie and a tennis ball too. After all, it’s all about the ball!
