The Ultimate Feast

For months my nephew has been telling my mom that all he wants to do for his birthday is to go out to dinner at Red Lobster. We decided that since his birthday is next week, this weekend would be a good time to go. So, my mom and dad, Billy and me, Dustin and Jarrett all went to Red Lobster. Imagine our surprise when we go to order and Jarrett orders "The Ultimate Feast" We were certain there was no way on earth he would ever eat the biggest, most expensive item on the menu, let alone that its a HUGE plate of seafood, and most 10 year olds HATE seafood!

So we all ordered and waited for our food. Our stuffed mushroom appetizer came out, and Jarrett ate two of them. Next our salad's came, and he finished off the entire salad as well, along with a cheddar biscuit. We were even more certain at this point that he would never eat an entire plate of seafood. Next came THE ULTIMATE FEAST...He started chowing down, and was even good at cracking the crab! I was quite impressed! My favorite comment of the night...they brought out the crab crackers before the meal and he sort of looked at them funny. Then after they brought the meal he said, "I thought there were going to be nuts with the dinner! Why did they bring nutcrackers?"

It was a fabulous dinner! I haven't ate that much good seafood in a long time!
After all was said and done Jarrett managed to eat everything on his plate except for a few shrimp scampi, that he saved in a box and took home for later! He was pretty well stuffed by the time he was done!
Once the waiter had cleared all of our plates, they came and sang Happy Birthday to him, but didn't even give him a free dessert, which I think is a rip off :) We were getting ready to leave and he pulled one of the ends of a crab leg out of his pocket and told me that he was going to make himself a necklace out of it....this kid is seriously hilariously odd, but we still love him to death!

Raquel, you are so cute!! That is so funny that he ate all that. Boys sure can put food away, and where does it go...no where!
