Toni, It is very good that you are aware of your limitations and of what your body really needs.  If I were you, I would take a small cooler packed with things that you CAN safely eat and drink.  If anyone asks about it, I would simply say that I have very specific dietary needs at this time.  That would probably stop them from asking more questions.   You might save yourself some $$$$$$$$$ and save yourself from  by trying this approach. Have fun with your kids....that should be the day's main goal!

Toni ,   I totally agree with Tigger . You must take things that you can eat . Point in case , I went to the Va State Fair when I was 3 months out . Cleared to eat meat mind you . The first thing I tried was pork bbq .. OMG I spent the entire day vomiting .. and even vomited in the line in the bathroom because no one would let me move ahead in the line . I learned a very valuabe lesson that day ..  I now pack for me .. anything I want to eat  I carry with me .  Just be carefull to maintain your water or fluid supply outside .  Take care ,  Nat

I agree with the others.  If you have a protein bar you like take a couple of those.  Definitely try to keep way up on the water.  I learned last summer that the heat with not enough water can be very hard on you.  :) Courtney

Take a small picnic with you! Yesterday we took Connor to Bealton Air show and we took a picnic for all of us and it was fun....... I always take food with me or I will be forced to eat what they are serving - and as delicious as some of it smells, I would be afraid.... and always, always drink lots of water - yesterday it was 93 degrees and I had liquid and still bought myself some more water.... Have fun Jackie
