A winter Sunday afternoon in Ottawa means skating on the world-famous Rideau Canal, which partially opened for business last weekend but is now open end-to-end for all to enjoy. Bone-chilling temperatures in the capital city might have deterred some from lacing up their skates, but it didn't stop a little 4-year old girl from taking to the ice for her first skate of the season. With the Andrews crew and Grandpa by her side, she had plenty of fans to help her reacquaint herself with the frozen canal. Her balance is clearly her strong point as she had no problems staying upright. The bitter cold and the biting wind kept her in check for tonight, but she is excited about heading back out with her Mom tomorrow night to get a private lesson and work on her glide. The group had a blast out there on the canal, until the weather got the best of everyone and we retired back to the house for pizza, beverages and to celebrate Matt's big birthday from the day before. Oliver was super happy to make friends with Elgin the golden retriever again and Isabelle is never disappointed to be a hostess. It was a nice night with great friends that we greatly appreciate. Let's hope the temperatures take a turn for the better and we can do it all again soon!

I love this dog!
Elgin, let's go for a spin around the block!
Can you hurry up and blow out the candle so we can eat it?
