Pillow Polo

Samantha played pillow polo this winter. It's a version of floor hockey, but they use heavily padded sticks and a soft ball. They were adorable, but it was sometimes difficult to watch a bunch of four and five year olds trying to play an hour long game. They'd lose interest so quickly, some would be sitting off by themselves, others whining for a drink or because they suddenly had to use the bathroom. Whoever was goalie that "period" was always the most comical. The kids would get so distracted playing with the net, the ball could come sailing by them and they'd never even notice. Samantha loved to run around the room, but not really after the ball so much. She just liked the thrill of running with the other kids. But, when she'd get to the ball, the other kids would fight it out to get the ball while Samantha trotted off.
