Sunday Riverwalk
Sunday afternoon I took a stroll down the frozen Assiniboine River with friends (i.e. the stylish mama pictured below and her adorable offspring, in pink, running away from us. Don’t worry, we didn’t let her go far!).
The unseasonably beautiful weather made the Forks a great place to be! Lots of other people had the same idea as us, and the whole thing had a festival vibe to it, though it’s not a festival per se (though there were some Festival du Voyageur folks there, as well as a kettle corn truck!),
Our pals DJ Co-Op and DJ Hunnicutt were spinning tunes in the centre of the skating rink. (Rink pictured below.)
The young ones ate mini-donuts! (A Forks essential if ever there were one.)
I didn’t take too many pictures — mostly video, which you will see in the January Video Scrapbook, due to arrive in a scant fortnight. I will leave you with one photo of DJ Co-Op demonstrating why he really needs a better iPhone case. And to be fair, one of the stellar DJ Hunnicutt, betoqued, beheadphoned and hard at work!

Ahh…I love The Forks, especially in the winter. Haven’t made it down to skate on the river yet this year…:(

@Melanie, I would, but you know he wouldn’t use the thing.

Wow, that looks really neat. I romanticize winter things like this, being a west coaster my whole life.
