a(n) is the number of paths from (0,0) to (n,0) using steps of the form (1,2),(1,1),(1,0),(1,-1) or (1,-2) and staying above the x-axis. Also, a(n) is the number of possible combinations of balls on the lawn after n turns, using a Motzkin variation of the (4,2)-case of the tennis ball problem considered by D. Merlini, R.
