Socal Food Programs

[Michelle]

How do you handle when you go on fieldtrips? We go on 2 or 3 fieldtrips a week during the summer. I pack our food most of the time, but sometimes, we do eat at a restaurant.

for our food program if you want to go on a field trip.. you have to call them and let them know the day before, tell them what you are serving and write it down, and then where you are going and what time you are serving the meal ( must be within your stated lunch time) in case they need to see you serve it to them..

We do it all the time and I have never had them come find us or whatever, it's just for their records in case they are audited.

They would have fun trying to hunt us down at DL, Raging Waters, or the Aquarium. My problem is that I often decide at the last minute.

that actually happened!
They asked me where I was taking the kids and I said" Disneyland" and they are like " ummmm I can't observe a meal there..so just document what they ate"

The best thing to do is tell them that you take field trips like every Mon/Wed/Fri or whatever and then they won't come on those days!
My dh took 4 of the preschoolers to DL today and I stayed home with the babies, so if they showed up it would have been ok, but just try to set a schedule for them

Also after being on it long enough you can pretty much predict when they are coming.

On the DL subject, let me know the next time you are going, we are going Mothers Day weekend
