Lobster, keeping 'em fresh till chowtime?

Efland, NC(Zone 7a)

Yep, 'tis true! Lobsters from Maine are moving this way!

We rec'd a gift certificate way last Christmas for lobsters and I just found it, tucked away under LOTS of papers where I store all my "organized" stuff! Since our DD has been away on a school trip for 12 days and gets home Saturday I thought now would be the perfect time to surprise her with a Welcome Home Lobster Party!

Thing is, the lobsters will arrive via FedEx on Friday and we want to eat them on Saturday. I know at seafood stores (and even Walmart) they have them in giant aquariums, complete with air bubblers.

Anyone know how to keep these things alive and nice and fresh? Can I just keep them chilled in the fridge? Keep them on ice in a big cooler? Do I gotta fix them a nice bath tub full of ice water?

Thanks, Folks!
Shoe.

PS...I got my "chef's hat" on, hoping to make the lobsters feel at home!
