What better way to pay homage to our love of seafood than put our baby into a lobster costume! OFF TOPIC: sometimes I think about all the countless sea critters that defied the odds of living until adulthood (or at least to an edible maturity). They survived the peril of the ocean! More than likely though, just the not so life threatening seafood farms. All that survival to amount to being boiled, fried, sliced or eaten raw, for us!
