Sharks galore

We spent several days up in Worcester, Mass., where Auntie Ann live with her four hockey-crazed boys, Matthew (9), Damon (6), John (almost 2), and "Unc" Mike (40+). We spent much of the time watching, playing, and talking about hockey. Mike works for the Worcester Sharks and the boys play for the mini-Sharks, so pretty much every item of clothing in the house has a shark on it. They even gave Robin a Shark pillow pet for her birthday (the teeth were actually pretty sharp, and it bit the birthday girl when Daddy nuzzled it too close to her).
The Shark prepares for its assault on the birthday girl...
With deft, one-handed stick work, Robin steals the puck
from her rookie cousin in the basement.
Miri skates with the big boys at the Sharks' arena.
High-sticking, Robin! Two minutes in the sin bin!
