Speaking of water - where do you carry it?

I just bought two new 3 new fannypacks at the Christmas Tree Shop yesterday. They have a small mesh pouch and come with a refillable water bottle in the pouch. We didn't need new fannypacks, but I am concerned about keeping the kids hydrated while in AZ and CA this summer. If they have a bottle with them, at least I will know that they have water available. I know that the bottles aren't insulated, but if they get filled with ice and water, that should last an hour or so. We all wear fannypacks on our Disney trips, so this won't bother us. (I carry the important stuff like cameras, park passes, money, hotel/car keys, sunscreen, antibacterial wipes, DH carries camcorder, extra batteries, and the kids each carry their autograph books and pens and a few snacks)............P

...or Sip Clip or whatever name the one you find carries. It is a piece of plastic that you slip the neck of your water bottle into then slide the other end over your belt, fanny pack strap, into your back pocket, into your waistband, wherever you feel comfortable. Your bottle is upright and doesn't swing around. My DS8 loves them. Mom brought them to CO from NJ last summer, so I couldn't tell you where to find them, but, knowing Mom, I'd say check Wal-Mart, Target, etc.

We use a camelback which we fill with ice - as the ice melts throughout the day we always have cold water. We like the camelback as it holds lots of water and you just carry it on your back like a backpack...no messing around with bottles. Also the pack we have has a pouch for the camera, park maps, ponchos, or whatever else.

I saw this in the camping department of WalMart today:

I haven't seen the Brita Fill n Go, but this would work great for most store-bought bottled water.
