why didn't we do this before?!

This is the River Trail's second winter. The River Trail is a path on the Assiniboine River that has been cleared of snow and flooded to make a skating path. It runs from The Forks downtown all the way to Omand Park at the west end of Wolseley; the plan is to extend it all the way to Assiniboine Park, which will make it 9 km long.

We went skating on the trail last weekend; it was a beautiful day and hundreds of people had the same idea. It was like a holiday; Andy called it "We Can Finally Go Outside Day." We bundled Robin up and put her in her stroller with a plastic cover to block the wind, and she was nice and toasty.
