I have been wondering for AGES what your snacks and food while out on adventures policy is. Mostly when you describe your weekends and I think, “but what about all the time spent packing snacks and lunch for all those kids?” Seriously, I only have three, but packing enough food for all of us for day feels like it takes forever. I’ve heard you talk about paying for school lunches, but I wondered if you just always bought food when out with your family.

If you have tips for how to pack and bring food easily for a large adventure for a large family, I’d love to hear them!

A $0.90 Popsicle would definitely fit the proverbial bill.

@Lisa – my guess is that it was a dollar, but it was members day, and members get 10% off in the cafe and so 90 cents it was…

Our zoo opens an hour earlier for members and we make sure to get there at opening time to enjoy a quiet hour before too many people arrive. But an entire day would be wonderful! And a $0.90 popsicle? Never would have guessed a place would price something below $1! We stopped at a donut place recently and I was surprised to see that donuts were $1.50. I am so used to the inflated prices at Starbucks.

Hope Henry napped well for you. Our toddler is a horrible napper. He napped for 45 minutes on Saturday which is just NOT enough of a break from the constant surveillance.
