Hibachi!

Last night we found ourselves out and about at dinner time, so we decided to take Tai to his first-ever Hibachi dinner. Here's your re-cap:

• The balloon animals were a big hit with both kids.
• Quynh was a huge hit with the wait staff.
• Tai was mesmerized/frightened the entire time.
• I was the only one who successfully caught a piece of zucchini in my mouth.
• Minh successfully caught sake in his.
• Tai refused to open his mouth, got squirted in the face with water, and was not pleased.
• Quynh was fidgety and fussy and not very engaged in the spectacle at all.
• Tai ate a *ton* of shrimp and scallops, deftly avoiding all vegetables on his plate.
• Quynh filled up on orange juice and soup, and then hardly ate any dinner.
• We topped it all off with Herrell's Ice Cream.

When it was all over, we asked Tai "What was your favorite part?" and he replied, without hesitation, "I didn't like the fire because it almost burned my head."
