What's in your backpack/bag in the parks?

[Haley]

I think I'll bring a vera bradley back pack with some items in it and put the rest in a bag in dd's stroller basket. I like to bring the minimum amount of things- I figure I can always buy a shirt or whatever in the parks if I need to.

I'll pack

- sippy cup and snacks for dd
- extra outfit for dd + bathing suit (depends on where we are going)
- baby wipes - they come in super handy for lots of things
- diapers (hopefully done with those by dec)
- disposeable bibs & placemats (maybe)
- small sunscreen
- ponchos or small umbrella
- headache meds
- for dd- epipens, benedryl, tyelonal, bandaids
- couple of toys/little things to entertain dd

DH will carry our park tickets/$$/cell phone to take pictures/small digital camera for me to use in his pockets.

I'm marking for later! Great lists

As little as possible. My park bag is a Vera Bradley Mini Hipster. I carry a pouch with cash/cards, a pen, my son's EpiPen and inhaler, my camera, extra batteries for the camera, a small container with Benadryl and Motrin, a couple of bandaids, a small hand sanitizer and my cell phone. My ds12 and dd9 will carry anything they need to take to the park (autograph books, lanyard, etc.).

Even when my kids were little, I carried enough diapers for the day, a travel case of wipes, extra pacifier, bottle or cup (washed after use and ready for the next use) and one extra outfit. I took ds's favorite toys to the MK when he was 6 months old and we lost both of them - the was the last time a toy was taken to a park. The only time I ever had anything bigger than a mini diaper bag was the trip when ds was 6 months and we needed more baby items.
