An Evening of Broomball

Even with this mild winter, we have had a few opportunities to play our favorite winter game at Merry Lea.  Broomball is a game that is much like hockey but it is played with regular shoes instead of skates, and a broom and a ball, instead of a stick and puck.  The ice was right a few weeks ago and we shoveled a rink and invited the EcoPAX club from Goshen College to come and join us for a game of broomball.  They quickly arranged to come down after classes.  We only had a short period of time until it was too dark to play,
but a bright moon helped to give us a few extra minutes and made the evening feel rather magical.  After it was too dark to see the ball, we headed inside for a time of visiting and pizza eating.  It was a fun evening and a great way to celebrate winter.
