I cannot bear to sit in the blazing sun (people who live in places like Egypt just stay out of the sun, but they enjoy the outdoors all the same -- you just make the umbrella part of your beach-going gear, and there are nice lightweight ones that work great). <br /><br />Usually what happens is that the other moms all squeeze in really tight to capture a corner of shade, although they don't have the guts to bring an umbrella themselves!<br /><br />Have a great time! You'll enjoy it more if you take your own shade ;)Leilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03432158981260636910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37820384.post-29172746110353175682010-06-17T06:41:58.734-05:002010-06-17T06:41:58.734-05:00Kat - thanks for your suggestions and, yes, we are...Kat - thanks for your suggestions and, yes, we are driving! I've been considering the crockpot but am a little concerned it might get broken in transit. But it might be okay if I pack it well...salads sounds great, I'm looking into them.<br /><br />Daria Tackle-sitter - stop being a doof.Pippajohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07651166001450622296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37820384.post-73530559841984265112010-06-16T23:35:37.419-05:002010-06-16T23:35:37.419-05:00i like how i'm 'the house/dog sitter' ...i like how i'm 'the house/dog sitter' now. is that my new nickname instead of daria?Dariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11455786966421732937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37820384.post-65753211118377434072010-06-16T23:11:51.190-05:002010-06-16T23:11:51.190-05:00Since you're bringing an electric skillet, I a...Since you're bringing an electric skillet, I assume you're driving...if not, disregard this. <br /><br />Two thoughts...#1, crock pot. You can make just about anything (and cheap) in a crock pot and the best thing is, dinner's ready when you get home. Bring a timer for shorter recipes, so if you're out for long hours you can delay the start time.<br /><br />#2, why not just bring a camp stove and pots/pans? You can get one at walmart for like $30 if you don't have one (same for the crock pot). <br /><br />If none of the above, go for salads. They're healthy, filling, and COLD which sounds like it'll be important. <br /><br />Hooray for field hockey though! :)Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10295095982479294130noreply@blogger.com
