Zoo Camp - Day Four

I asked Avery what animals we should do for her lunch tomorrow and she yelled "GIRAFFES!" So, this is what we came up with:

• PB&J on whole wheat sandwich cut into circle. Cheddar giraffe colored with food safe markers and heart shaped fruit leather.



• Carrots with ranch



• Red and green grapes



• Pretzel snaps
  

Grandma, we were thinking of you as we made this one! :)

Zoo Camp - Day Three

In my opinion (which may be a wee bit bias), our zoo has one of the nicest aquariums around. So, in tribute to it, tomorrow's lunch is fishy themed.

• 
  
  2 PB&J fish with cheddar stripes and icing eyes


• 
  
  Broccoli* with ranch for dipping and a fishy pick


• 
  
  Strawberry slices and blackberries


• 
  
  Iced animal cookies

* Did you know fish eat broccoli? Sometimes when we go to the aquarium at the zoo they will hang stalks of broccoli in the tank and we watch them nibble. I don't know if Ave will pick up on that or not ;)

Zoo Camp - Day Two

The animal theme for Day 2 is lions!

• PB&J on whole wheat (halved and stacked) with a cheddar and provolone lion. The lion's face is made from cucumber peel.


• Cucumber slices and cherry tomatoes with ranch


• Red grapes with a lion pick


• Iced animal crackers

Zoo Camp!

Tomorrow is the first day of zoo camp for Avery. I foresee many animal themed lunches in our future this week!


We're starting off the week with elephants in tribute to Phoebe and her baby elephant Beco, who are always must sees when we visit the zoo. (Although Beco isn't so little anymore!)

• Mama and Baby Elephant PB&J sandwiches on whole wheat.


• Raspberries and blackberries with an elephant pick


• Carrots with ranch (in an elephant cup)


• Cheddar elephants


• Iced animal cookies

Horse Camp - Day 3

• Turkey and colby-jack on whole wheat sandwich



• 2 cheddar horses with a fruit leather heart (I used some food safe markers to try to make them look a bit more like horses)



• Steamed broccoli



• Strawberry slices and blackberries



• Goldfish/pretzel mix

QUESTION ANSWERED: I'm not sure why my blog is continuing to prevent me to add my own comments. But, since I can simply reply to the comment, I thought I'd add my answer here. The goldfish/pretzel mix is in the blue container from this set.

2nd Day of Horse Camp

• Salami and veggie cream cheese on a whole wheat mini bagel. Words are made from colby jack cheese and fruit leather


• Blackberries and raspberries


• Carrots with ranch


• Mini snickers
  

Horse Camp Time!

Tomorrow is Haley's first day of horse camp - the day she's been waiting for all summer. She's supposed to take a packed lunch, so I had to go horse-themed, of course!

• 
  
  
  2 turkey and cheese horse-shaped sandwiches (stacked)



• 
  
  
  Ranch flavored mini rice cakes



• 
  
  
  Cucumber slices and ranch



• 
  
  
  Raspberries
