My kids got their Orioles Dugout Club goodies yesterday, which got me to thinking -- since I was already thinking about Dinner Together day -- about what kids eat at the ballpark.

With the O's playing the way they are, Camden Yards food becomes even more of an attraction. Or distraction, depending on how you look at it. If parents aren't careful and selective, they can end up plunking down plenty for hot dogs, peanuts, lemonade, cotton candy, and more snacks as the innings go by.

I find it's good to zero in on what my kids want most as their signature Birdland treat. For my son, it's usually a hot dog, and maybe half an order of cotton candy to split with his sister. My daughter digs the soft pretzels.

What does your family eat at the game?
