Somehow my Google maps audio switched to some Scandanavian language. Good thing I don't actually need it to get up to Hershey...

I assume you are referring to the golden arches? We always end up there for A. He won't eat much else. He's picky, even about the kind of fries he eats. When we go on vacation, everyone gets food they like. So we go to McDonalds for him, then we go and get real food. The one time we got food ourselves was after the dinner in Monschau, and the only thing we got was dessert.

I understand that but had hoped he would have become a bit more willing to try more foods by now. I'm lucky there are only a few foods my older ds won't eat.

As well as zero nutrition

With the exception of french fries most of the food I've eaten at Disney has been healthy

I think every WDW restaurant has a defibrillator to jump start your heart if needed.

It's been a busy day.... as Saturdays always seem to be... got my oil changed, picked up donuts, went to bath & body works for their one day soap sale..... did laundry, went for some groceries...

Now I'm sitting here contemplating 34 more days until my Las Vegas trip.... I got my suitcases out already. Man it's gonna be a long month! LOL...

I'm an obsessive ex travel agent... always looking at what's going on, videos, blogs... etc... I can't stop!

What are you planning to do in Vegas? Is everything open out there or are things limited? I hope you have fun!

Texts from Mom at Hershey today...

We harvested some tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and basil today. I made a tomato basil salad on some fresh mozzarella for dinner. Yum!
I have quite a few banana peppers any idea on what I should do with them? Hubs wanted to plant them but I don’t think I have ever eaten one.

We also have some random corn growing by our garage. I don’t think the ears will develop enough to eat but still kind of cool.

I know you mean this as a joke, but I cannot eat too much junk on vacation or my stomach will rebel. It's totally possible to eat healthy in WDW if you're paying attention. I have to make sure I eat at least one fruit and veggie per day, preferably more than one serving of veggies a day, and at least every two days I have to lay off all the fried food.

Which is why I also come home weighing less than when I left

Also probably why it took me 20 years to try school bread.

Meh. Troll horns are better.

We just waited out a non-existent thunderstorm at Hershey's water park. Conversation with my mom...

Similar to Dwarf breakdowns nearing end of Park hours or when queue is too long or there is an Event party

I honestly think they saw a thunderstorm kind of in the vicinity and were like "We all want a break". It was bright and sunny out. Everyone was confused.

We ended up throwing our rash guards on, drying off, and I put a pair of shorts on, and we rode a couple of (outdoor) roller coasters and went back in. It was an hour, literally.

I’m one of the few that spat school bread out. That is why God invented napkins.

I tend to crave salads at Disney. Think it is that dehydration factor. I rarely eat fries anymore or things like fried fish or shrimp. Love them. They don’t like me though.

I'd pickle the banana peppers https://addapinch.com/pickled-peppers-recipe/ Let them sit for a few days in the fridge for the best flavor

They certainly upped the count of AEDs they had In The Parks. Can’t send. Runner to another ‘land’ to fetch the nearest AED.

This is the last week for dh to be on days. The upside he's a better pack animal to bring to the farm market and he likes the weekday one

All Waterparks have Thorguard or similar. If lightening is within 7 miles it sets off an alarm. It won’t reset to all clear until 15 minutes after the last lightening is detected. If fit finds just one in a 7 mile radius it resets the 15 minute clock.

Cool, I just didn’t know if he was getting a little more curious about different food as he was getting older. And a Joffrey’s donut sounds good. Hubs and split one last week at Animal Kingdom, I needed something to get my blood sugar back up quick. I thought a whole donut might be too much so hubs agreed to eat half. I totally should have gotten my own! Ha!

They are really good! But even those....they have a few different colors, and I guess the frosting on the one is chocolate, and that's the first one he tried and he liked it, so he won't try the others. I'm sure he'd like them, but he won't try them, because they aren't the same and he KNOWS he likes the chocolate frosted one, so that's the only one he'll eat. I don't even remember what color I got, but it wasn't the chocolate one, and it was soooooo soft and delicious. I wish we could get them here!!

 

[Songbird76]

*raises hand* Yep, that's me!!

Nope, I don't think he's destined to become a human garbage disposal. I'm waiting till the day he's old enough to make his own dinners so I don't have to.

I have the same thing. I HAVE to have fruits and veggies, and it helps if I can have a small bowl of yoghurt with oats in the morning. If I only eat junk, my stomach will get upset. I actually do really well in Disney, because I don't have much of an appetite when it's hot anyway, so what appetite I do have goes mostly to real food. I LOVE veggies and fruits though. Except pineapple and mango. Blech.

Spoiler

And I agree about troll horns. The school bread is gross.
