We’re going for a hike. Would you like to come with us? Getting outside is
a great way to beat the winter blues.
I would, but isn’t it a little cold out there?
A little cold? It’s very cold out there!
I guess Manitoba is known for extreme temperatures.
We do need to take precautions when heading outdoors. That’s for
sure!
Yes. For one thing, layering your clothes is so important.
Uh huh. That can really make the difference, especially on a day
when the wind-chill is a factor.

we’re out there.
There’s nothing worse that feeling cold and wet when we’re outdoors.
So true. I think we must be practical when thinking about what
we’re going to put on when heading out.
Sure, just let me grab an extra pair of mitts and another sweater, first!
Smart thinking!
No kidding. It’s possible to be fashionable and dress in a practical way,
but safety must always come first.
