The Shark

 

Among all of this Winter's favourite milestones, a date not to be missed- the Shark turned 50. Yes. Five. Zero.

Sweet requin, I haven't seen you in forever. It's ridiculous and something we will address ASAP! While I can't write like the Shark, I can find some pretty sweet snaps of our amazing times together. Just a few.

Friends at the cabin for birthday Annie's and ice cream (fish curry for the adults).

Back in town, Savvy took Mac out to the mall for a bday shop and poutine. They taxi-ed there and Nana scooped them when done. So grown up!
