Summer is an exciting time filled with vacations, staycations, trips to the pool, and loads of fun! It lasts just a few months, but the memories made will last a lifetime.
As a mom, I still need to keep my family fueled during all of those busy days both on the road and at home. One of my family's go-to favorites is cereal. Cereal is definitely not just a breakfast food in our house. My boys (ages 9, 13 and 17) can be found eating cereal at all hours of the day. One of my biggest jobs as a mom is keeping these three growing men fed. They eat A LOT! We spend a good part of the summer in our family's cabin in the mountains and I want to be able to relax and enjoy our time together. I don't want to have to worry about food shopping and meals every single day. For that reason, we always hit up the local Walmart at the start of our trip and stock up on food I know my guys will eat. Kellogg's Cereal In A Cup is perfect for our needs of on-the-go snacking.

Like most kids, my boys don't like to keep still for long so we are busy all summer long. We love to go on hikes and swim in a nearby stream. We can just throw a few of the cereal cups in our backpack and we have a totally portable snack or meal. Sometimes, we bring along some milk in a thermos. Other times, no milk is necessary. My guys love to eat it either way.
We also enjoy boating. We keep our boat at a dock a few miles from the house, so I always pack a bag of food so we can stay out on the lake longer on those gorgeous summer days.
Back at home, my kids enjoy having friends over to swim. Kellogg's cereal cups are a popular snack choice and so easy to share with friends by the pool. You can find more ideas to make this a summer you and your kids will never forget at www.walmart.com/makethemostofsummer.
I am sure your family is as excited about the summer as we are!
