We stumbled upon this event last Saturday on our way to see Monsters vs Aliens. It was called “Kids in the Kitchen” where they had booths for kids/adults to learn about nutrition and healthy choices. Ironically, it was sponsored by McDonalds (which typically wouldn’t be the first thing on anyone’s mind when you say ‘healthy’).
Ethan had a lot of fun.
He played games, talked to the firefighters, did arts and crafts, exercised with the Soldiers/Marines, he even won a $25 giftcard to Mickey D’s – which, of course will be used towards apple dippers (ok, maybe some chicken nuggets, too).

There was a booth where they had laid out a bunch of food (healthy mixed in with the junk), and Ethan was supposed to pick 4 items to pack in his lunch bag. Proudly looking over his shoulder (and praying he would pass on the bag of Doritos), Mike and I watched Ethan pick a bag of nuts, a juice box, a milk carton and an orange! Then we realized he probably just wanted to stuff everything in the bag and bring it with him… :)
We also got several kid-friendly recipes that we collected by visiting each booth. Ethan got a free event shirt, a canvas bag, and a free Army shirt for doing pushups.
