Fall Event Dresses

Well, we’ve played pickleball as a family nearly every evening for the past week.

It all started when Justin and I took a beginner class at our gym to learn the basics of the rules and how to play, and then I bought this net and these paddles from Target. The kids and I assembled the net quickly and started playing! Then it became an afternoon activity for the boys and me and in the evening we’d all get out there and play.

As someone who is historically pretty terrible at racquet sports, pickleball is not only fun and simple, but it’s something anyone can play. Nearly all ages and all skill levels can start and have a good time!

We’ve finally had a break in the extreme humidity here in Raleigh and it’s been lovely outside. It’s still quite warm in the middle of the day, but that is to be expected until about mid-October at the earliest.

Are you looking forward to the fall? I love all the reasons for get-togethers that these months bring, from Halloween parties to the holidays.
