Kihei home-schooler Jillian Ranks, 10, runs down a return from her father, Marc, on Wednesday morning at Kalama Park in Kihei.
Jillian didn't let the hot, hazy conditions keep her from enjoying her first day of summer vacation. "She's just finished school, so she's pretty happy," said her mom, Judi. Jillian said she has been playing tennis for three weeks. "I like being able to hit the ball as hard as I can, to just smash it," she said.
