SEA WORLD TRIP

If you pack a lunch you will be less likely to eat unhealthy food.  Today we packed our lunch for Sea World.  Policy says "no ice chests or outside food".  We chanced it.  I would have made a trip back to the car to get our grub but they let us in no questions asked.  I am considering asking the pediatritian to give us some sort of official note saying that my kids do have food allergies.   
We packed: water, organic tortilla chips, homemade organic apple sauce, shredded chicken (free range organic made in crock pot while batch cooking for the week), rice chex, 2 sippy cups of almond milk, organic black beans and an organic banana. 

The kids did get an icecream (link's was a strawberry juice bar) and on the way home Nolan got McDonald's (NOT organic but ya gotta live a little).  Lucky kid got to splurge since he doesn't have food intollerances like his brothers. Since we packed a lunch we were able to stay on track and not make any excuses to eat the food at the park.  Saved us money too!  Moral of the story: PACK YOUR FOOD... Every time you leave the house have healthy snacks on hand.
Your kids may not want what you packed the first 10 times you ask them but I tell ya, once those little tummies start grumbling they will find the cooler on their own.
