What to bring to the parks...

[julie56]

We are going with three kids 10, 8 and 3, and the youngest will be in a stroller. I am trying to get some things together to stick in the stroller bag. When we went years ago, there was a list on this site somewhere with a lot of things that came in handy. Of course, I can't remember and I can't find the list!

What do you all bring with you?

And what are the names of those blister bandages?

Thanks y'all!

All we take in is a camera and water and maybe some sun block if needed. For your little one you may want to have a snack or two on hand.

As far as the band-aids go? are you thinking of moleskin?

As little as possible!

Hats.
Sunglasses.
Suncream.
Camera.
General purse stuff like wallet, cell phone etc.
Jackets if staying into the evening.
Basic First Aid e.g. Tylenol and Band Aids.

Get lanyards for your kids sunglasses. Ensure they wear their hats. You shouldn't need more than a small bag for the rest.

Moleskin! That's it. For some strange reason, I kept thinking it had "eel'" in the name...like eel skin or something?!

That's a great idea about the lanyards for the sunglasses. I hadn't thought of that. One less thing MOM will get stuck carrying!

Thanks for the ideas. I am adding few things to my Wal-Mart list right now!
