Spray bottle good for cooling down?

[bxrlvr]

We have a 2 and 4 year old, was thinking of getting them a fan spray thingy to cool down but was thinking maybe a spray bottle would be much cheaper and good enough--and I forgot about those fan blades... Are there place to fill it up? Or should we just forget taking anything wet?

Also, can I find any of these at the Super Walmart in Kissimmee??

Thanks!

A spray bottle would work, but it's the evaporation that actually cools you (not just the water itself); that's what the fan is for, to fan you and speed up the evaporation.

You may also want to look at the Misty Mates - a similar concept to the spray bottles, but it's a VERY fine mist, which also speeds up the evaporation.

You can fill up the bottles at any water fountain - also, almost anywhere they sell drinks, if you ask for it, they will give you a cup of ice; put the ice into the bottles, and use the cup at the drinking fountain, if the bottle doesn't fit.

You can probably buy mister fans and spray bottles at Walmart or Kmart in Kissemmee.

Any of these solutions will be helpful if you're going during a hot part of the year (like May through September).
