Fun Tennis Memories: Crazy Hat Day Spring 2013

One of my favorite days is 'Crazy Hat Day'.  It's a day where everyone brings a unique hat to tennis practice and we have a contest to see who has the 'craziest hat'.   This photo was taken in Nassau Bay during my home school tennis program in the spring of 2013.  I think we need another Crazy Hat Day to kick off spring 2014...!

It's definitely important to shield our faces and necks from the sun and crazy hat day is a fun way to emphasize the importance of protecting ourselves from harmful UV rays.

These two young college athletes were very gracious to have their photo taken with 'an Aggie kid'.  Daniel said it was against Rice team policy to pose with Aggies but they made an exception for Elijah.  In fact, they were very warm and encouraging to him.   Our field trip to Houston Metropolitan Racquet Club was a fun event.  I think it was very inspiring to everyone that attended.
