Due to the girls being sick, Lauren missed a couple days of preschool.
When they were both feeling better, because it wasn't a preschool day, we decided that it was time to get out of the house and go to the aquarium!
I like to pack lunches when we go to places like the aquarium or the zoo because not only is the food there crazy expensive, it's pretty unhealthy.
I'm all for a having a 'treat' lunch of hot dogs or chicken strips and fries once in awhile, because come on, fries!!! But lunches like that make you feel heavy and gross. And when my girls are exploring/running around like feral little animals, they need something healthy and something to keep them going!
