GolfBall - Kick ball with a twist.
Golfball
Cost $5 buy one of those big like 3' across balls from Walmart.
Quiet 50-90 db
Need? The above ball and some old golf clubs.
Idea – You hit the ball with the golf club and then run the bases. Basically it is kick ball but you use the golf clubs. The ball doesn’t go far and doesn’t hurt no matter what. Have at least two balls sometimes the golf club breaks them. Also, woods are better than irons.
Rub
The rules are in the basics fairly simple. Three outs and you switch sides. Quite often because of limited people and/or space you have to change the rules quite a bit. You hit this automatic out. You hit it over the fence, automatic three runs and three outs. Change the rules based upon level of play and numbers of kids. You can play this with as little as two people. You and your child. You can just play a score game or a reinforcement game. Be sure to slightly modify the rules as you go along. Sometimes you have to have different rules for different children
Benefits Muscular of course. It is different and slower than traditional kick ball. The kids are on an even level with adults. Adult men cannot seem to hit the ball any further than a 5 year old from what I have seen.
Rating
This is about the best backyard game I can think of. There are better ones. But not one that you can seriously play with as few people as this one can or a cheaply.

What Mike Sees?
Sometimes you wonder don't ya. So this Sunday I decided to take a picture from the stage looking out. with the lights turned down this is pretty much what he sees. He can see you come in and go out the doors. And see the clock to see what time it is. Kind of interesting.

Snow before the big melt off happens
One last shot of the snow at night completely covering the stop sign. Wow it has been a winter. But I think we are all seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

Winter Moon over a church.
The Full Moon earlier this week was pretty awesome. Took a detour on the way to work to capture this 5 exposure HDR. It was nice.

and more trees.
Different trees only 10 minutes later and the light had totally changed for the whole of the morning. It is interesting to see the light change first things in the morning. I guess that is why I am a morning person.
