[quote=Anonymous]I LOVE eating dinner at the pool in the summer!  I have a wheeled cooler that I bring, and basically anything I'd normally pack in their lunchboxes for school, I pack for dinner.  Everything stays cold with a few icepacks.  I always bring a big container of fresh fruit to share, sandwiches for the kids, and usually a big salad for myself (I bring the whole bottle of dressing; stays cold w/ the icepacks).  Depending how hungry they are, I bring cheese sticks, yogurts, a few bananas, pretzels and/or crackers.  I don't usually bother with drinks for everyone b/c our snack bar will give us cups of ice, and there's a water fountain, so why spend money on juice boxes when I'd rather have them drink water anyway.  I always have my own reusable water bottle with me anyway.

Once you get into a routine, it really is pretty quick to throw dinner in the cooler.  I try to have us eat there as much as possible b/c then I don't have to clean my kitchen!

Also, in a pinch, our snack bar has a couple of healthier options - they have a nice fruit salad (tho it's cheaper to make it at home, but if I run low on fruit, it's good), as well as PB & J sandwiches and a pretty good grilled chicken salad.  Your snack bar might have a couple of menu items that aren't too fatty & fried. [/quote]
