One of the things my children like best about the nice weather is ADVENTURE SNACKS.
Adventure snacks is my attempt to carpe the nice weather and make my kids stay outside as long as possible (and avoid having them track dirt into the house.)
I take a plastic container, fill it with a juicebox (I don't mind giving my kids juice in the summer because they need to stay hydrated and they burn the sugar off so quickly.) and some of the following:
Graham Crackers
Raisins
Chocolate Chips
Cereal (Oatmeal Squares, Cracklin' Oat Bran, Cheerios, Life, etc.)
Cheese Sticks
Peanut Butter Crackers
etc.
They each get their own container and they usually congregate outside somewhere under a shady tree and open them and just talk. Then someone collects the empty juiceboxes, straw wrappers, REUSABLE plastic containers and brings them back into the house.
They really do feel like adventurers carrying their food on their back and eating it in the wild and it's great for me because they spend the time together, outside and I dont have to worry about them spilling the crumbs on the floor or bringing mud into the house 15 times during the day.
You know, let's let some people make big fortunes because that provides spice in life and some adventure, something to look forward to-- that you might get this.

These are my favorite snacks too! However, make sure you feed your kids fruits and veggies from time to time as well.
