Trying something new

I had to run some out of town errands the other day. To make the outing more fun for the kids, I decided to take them out to a "real" restaraunt for lunch. On the drive over, I asked the kids if they'd like to try some new kinds of foods at a real restaurant, and they were both very excited (I was surprised!). We went to a Thai place I had eaten at before and knew was good.
We ordered three appetizers to start: chicken satay skewers, spring rolls and edamame. The kids loved them all! Boosted by my first attempt, I ordered some sashimi. The kids loved the beautiful presentation, but didn't like the fish. They did try it though, and I was proud of them.

I think Max gave up on the chopsticks and used his fingers :)
