Skating weekend
This was a fantastic weekend for skating. The temperature crept up to around -6 during the day and dipped down to -20 overnight. During the day the sky was blue and the ice was hard and clear. We went out on Saturday and on Sunday to take advantage of the gorgeous weather and the wonderful skating conditions.
On Saturday, we went to the outdoor skating rink in our park, the parque des Trembles. We met Max, Isabelle, Philip and Éric for a rousing session of skate tag, ball hockey, push the stroller and drink hot chocolate with lots of marshmallows.
On Sunday, Monique, Chloée, Corinne and I went down to the Rideau Canal, the world’s largest skating rink and skated for a bit then had beaver tails and piping hot coffee. The canal was packed so it was bit more difficult to get going with the girls, Chloée is still a bit tentative and Corinne needs to be pushed, but all things considered, it was phenomenal. The canal is still in great condition from Winterlude so it’s pretty hard not to have a good time.
Chloée’s skating has greatly improved. The new skates that she got for Christmas really help her a lot. They’re girl’s skates with the picks on the toe. She can really cruise. That really seems to have made a big difference for her.
Corinne tried skating for the first time this weekend, too. Our neighbour, Jenny, lent us a pair of beginner skates, each with two blades, that we could strap onto Corinne’s boots. Corinne cruised around and was very proud of herself.
There are a few issues with your redesign.
Hope you get thme sorted out soon.
