[Sportsandrec] family yard sports

[Roger Acuna]

Maxi-aids sells a noise device that you can atach to the back of a 
basketball rim, and you can also get a basketball with bells inside.  Oh, 
you could also atach bells to the basketball net so that you know when you 
hit a basket.
The beeping nurf soccer ball didn't last with us and I also found it tricky 
tracking the beeping.  The sound seem to come from all over. I found myself 
running with one ear aimed toward the ground. Must have looked very 
funny/silly.  However, it was fun until the beeper was killed by a swift 
kick.
