what i love about bass lake #2 – junk food
Jul 21
when it comes to food – anything goes at bass lake. i throw good eating habits to the wind and let the girls eat sugar cereal for lunch, eat chips at 8am and even have a bit of soda! i remember when i was little and my mom and i would grocery shop for camping – she always asked if i wanted Captain Crunch or Lucky Charms? WOW, really? that type of food was off-limits during the rest of the year. but when we camped, sugar cereal it was! so i continue that funny little tradition and allow the girls to eat junk all week. they burn so much energy between the swimming, the tubing/skiing and hiking around that i figure it’s OK. what the heck! they LOVE it – it’s exciting to bend the rules and load up on sugar. when you vacation do you bend the rules or allow your kids to do something that doesn’t fly at home? would love to hear – maybe we can add to our traditions!
best wishes, zoe

PS.. The BEST pancake and waffle mix ever is… Kodiak Cakes… and all you need to add is water.. They are so soft and fluffy…. healthy too….w/out the 7UP of course;)

I HAVE to try that! 7-UP pancakes? My daughters will think that’s the coolest tradition ever. Consider it added to our repertoire! xo, Zoe

we also do the sugary cereals on vacation!!! even if we are flying somewhere that won’t have it, thats one of the first things in the suitcase!
Zoe says
it’s funny but i can’t bring myself to eat it! after years of begging my mom for lucky charms (except during camping trips) i now just can’t do it…
i’m a rice crispies kind of gal.
