March Madness: Our 3 Basketball Games

So we're getting into the swing of March with baseball players in spring training and getting ready to "Spring forward" our clocks. I can't wait for the time to change because I love to stay outside late playing sports. My oldest son's birthday just passed and we bought him a basketball court. Now we have essentially three basketball games: The Nerf basketball game in the family room, the basketball court out back and the basketball Wii game. My son and I like playing all of these. Eventhough basketball isn't my favorite sport, I appreciate the light cardio activity that it provides just from jumping and shooting hoops. (Yes, you do immensly better when you actually jump when you play Wii basketball.) I count my blessings, knowing that I am healthy enough to play with my children and I want to take advantage of the exercise it gives me.

What types of "play" with your children make you the happiest and keep you fit?
How important do you think it is to stay outside and play with your children, or is that what they have siblings for?
