If you don’t live in Wisconsin then let me tell you something, winters here are LONG. Coming from the tropics, for me the winters are almost too long. But it is around this time, long after the snow has melted and the April showers are beginning to green the grass and bulbs begin to flower, that I begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Even my 4 year old is sensing the improvement in the weather and has already asked to go back to his swimming classes. This year I am particularly excited because my toddler is old enough to start the classes too. He is a fun kid and I know he will have a blast in the Mommy and Me swim classes.
Packing for the pool is a bit hectic though. At least my oldest is now completely potty trained, so I will only have one in swim diapers. But besides swim suits or swim diapers there are many other things I make sure are alwaysin my pool bag: sunscreen, wipes to clean messes, liquids to keep them hydrated and sunglasses and hat for me. Huggies and Juicy Juice have created a fun game on the Walmart website to help you pack your pool bag and make sure you don’t forget any of the essentials.
The best part is that Huggies Little Swimmers and Nestle Juicy Juice are giving one bag to giveaway on my blog. This Prize Pack has an estimated value of $100. To get an idea of what’s included in this prize pack check out the Dive Into Summer Page. But with brands like Huggies Little Swimmers and Nestly Juicy Juice you know you are only the best.

Would love to win My kids love to swim and so do i thanks
Great give away! Hats all the way. We always wear hats in the summer when we are outside to keep the sun off our faces.
We keep cool with a a large blow up water slide in our yard. The kids Love it. Of course, we use a lot of sunscreen throughout the summer.
We have the most fun with a little splasher pool and buckets and buckets and buckets of water.

A garden hose and sunscreen!=)
lots of sunscreen. I’m also not gonna have him outside without a shirt…even in the pool. I’d never forgive myself if he got a sunburn! Might even put something over the pool (kiddy pool) he’s only 10 months old right now….no way I want him burnt!
I love putting hats on my 5 month old twins. They are stylish…cute….& keep them protected! We also try to stay in the shade whenever possible.
I always put the waterproof hats on the little ones. Our kids are super light, so they burn fairly easily! Lots of sunscreen is a must!
This sounds like a pretty good givaway, especially with the summer heat coming (even if, like you, I love up North and summer comes late and never stays long!) Enter me too please! Sunscreen is used frequently, especially since sunburns this north are common. I also like little hats, and those water mist fans!
This is my first summer with a baby, so I plan on getting a baby pool, lobbing on the sunscreen and eating some Rita’s WaterIce. Oh, and the baby can come into the pool too.
WE LOVE to have water fights! and take naps under trees!
We stay cool at shopping mall and amusement parks
I live in Vegas…so it gets H-O-T here (it already is in the 90s!). We keep cool going to the pool, taking advantage of the local rec centers, visiting parks with water features, and (our favorite) devouring popsicles!

Lucky for us we live close to the beach so we spend a lot of time there. I make sure we all put on sunscreen prior to heading to the beach. The boys also were uv protected rash guards so their torso and arms are protected.
We live in Texas where it gets super duper hot. Luckily we live close to a lake so we do a lot of swimming, wear lots of big hats & lot’s of sunscreen. We also drink A LOT of juice & water & lemonaide throughout the summer months.
The pool and big ol sippy bottles of crystal light.

Shared on facebook. Stay cool and thanks
Lots of sunscreen and the kids love their kiddie pool to stay cool!
We uses tons of sunscreen. I also always make sure to pack fozen bottles of water if I know we are going to be out all day.
My inlaws have a pool so we are always swimming!!!!
I’m in the Chicago area, so yes, Winter has been long. In the summer, we stay in the shade, and wear sunscreen if we’re in the sun. Cool prize- thanks.
We go on walks early in the morning before it’s too hot, then play inside until the late afternoon when the back patio is in the shade. Then my son loves to splash in his little bucket of water.
To keep cool on the hottest days, we go to the pool or the lake. To stay protected from the sun, we wear aqua shirts and reapply sunscreen so often that we glisten!
That is a great giveaway! Don’t forget the sunscreen!
We stay cool and protected with lots of water and sunscreen!
I lather my kids in sunblock of at least SPF 35 and my sunblock always has at least 3% zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.
My whole family has really fair skin so we use LOTS of sunscreen and hats and plan sun-exposed activities in the morning or evening whenever possible. Thankfully we also live in an area with a LOT of trees for good shade in the middle of the day too.
We love summer after a long winter! We make sure to pack lots of sunscreen for my fair children and snacks, juice boxes, water, hats for everyone, and blankets to help keep cool in the summer!
We always put on suntan lotion before we put on bathing suits, so it’s not as messy. Also, we wear sunglasses and hats when we’re playing outside!
I would love to win this. We all LOVE to swim to keep cool in the hot summers here in TN.
Great Give away!!! Summer are a bit longer in TX so we love to go to the pool and bake in the sun…We stay cool by using all kinds of fun hats!!!
my daughter loves the water! and popsicles
what a great give away! we’re hoping to spend a lot of time at the beach this summer. my (VERY fair skinned) kids wear hats and sunscreen all the time, and rash guards/swim shirts for swimming or playing in the water. it really helps!
I can’t wait for summer either!
We do many things to stay cool and safe in the summer. We always use sunscreen (and to the annoyance of my kids, we reapply often). We also love to go to the pool. We also make sure we drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. If we are getting “too hot” and the pool/sprinkler isn’t cutting it for us, we go inside to rest. We don’t stay out (unless in water) when it gets up there temperature wise.
sunscreen, sunscreen, SUNSCREEN!!!
We use sunscreen and we also wear swim shirts.
Loads of sunscreen, hats & plain old H2O

i forgot my email in my last post
jdkcdill@yahoo.com
we are either at the lake or in the poo to stay cool. We use sunscreen and hats if needed!
Can u delete my first one? Sorry!
Firstly and mostly importantly I use kids sunscreen by coppertone. The waterproof kind. We spend our days alot at the beach, walking at the wild life sanctuary, Bay Beach… always make sure we drink alot of fluid when we are out on hot days. Find shade if we need too.
Lots and lots of sunscreen. I also remind the kids to re-apply so it doesn’t wear off.
When it’s really hot, the kids wear their rash guards top – this is the same type shirt that surfers wear.
I make sure I have hats & sunscreen stashed in the car and stroller and make sure there is always water and juice chilling in the fridge. Soon, I’ll be putting a cooler in the car, so that even when we take short trips, I can throw in some ice packs and cold water to keep us cool and hydrated.
I get a blow up pool and fill it in my garage. The kids stay out of the sun and have a blast getting wet. My garage floor stays clean all summer long! As an added treat I let them have freezer pops in the pool. Less mess and my kids think I am a totally cool mom!
I use lots of sunscreen when we go out. Also, I take my son out for a walk early in the morning or later during the day when the sun’s rays are not at their strongest.
I use a blow up pool all summer with lots of sunscreen and big hats for protection. Also, lots and lots of water!
I tweeted!! http://twitter.com/a49erfangirl/status/1719836163
We spend a lot of summer days at Elkhart Lake. I grew up swimming there all sumemr and my kdis love it too. We always get there right when they open to ensure a table in the shade. I always slather the kids and myself with sunscreen before we leave home so that they can jump right in the water when we get there. I love summer days at Elkhart!
I also posted on facebook as Stacie Lewin
Sunsreen, plenty of water to drink, and my daughters favorite: frozen bananas on a stick
I face booked it Stacie Lewin

My children love to just turn on the hose in the back yard and spray each other – spray down the slide – play with water guns, etc.
We keep the sunscreen handy.
chinesewang@yahoo.com
Hats, sunblock and lots of it! We live in Nevada where it’s very very hot!! I have swim shirts for my kids too.

My kids stay cool and protected with a umbrella-covered sand and water table, sunscreen, cool shades, and my son’s favorite Elmo hat. Would love to win this giveaway!!!
My girls and I try to stay in the shade.
We use SUNSCREEN, SUNSCREEN, and more SUNSCREEN!!! I also bought my little man the matching swim shirt with his swim trunks from Old Navy!!! It keeps him covered but he doesn’t get overheated.
I keep my family cool by playing at the parks with big trees that offer a lot of shade. Around here there is easily a 10 degree difference between shaded and unshaded parks. We also love to play in water. We use sprinklers, slip and slides, and pools. City pools around here have awesome kid sections with water slides, showers, and squirty thingies. Though we enjoy the outdoors, the sun is intense, so we wear light colored clothes and use plenty of sunscreen. The most important thing to remember in regards to sunscreen is to apply regularly. Have a great summer everybody!!!!
Looks like a fun pack. Thanks!
Sorry, forgot about the keeping cool tip. We use sunscreen and try to keep in the shade.
My family also lives in Wisconsin and are very excited to spend some time in Northern WI (up north). My family all has fair skin so sun block is extremely important especially when we are on the water! Can’t wait for it to warm up more:)
We live in Miami, so all year long seems like summer!! We use alot of sunscreen spf 50 or higher and try to keep our hats on since my 15 month old tries to take it off at times
This is awesome giveaway!!! Keep up the great work you do for all of us!!!!!!!!!
My baby loves to swim. We swim all summer long! We make sure we use all sorts of sunscreen and hats to keep the sun off of my baby.

We pick fresh blueberries every year and I freeze about 6lbs of them and when the days get hot I add some strawberries, bannanas, and frozen berries with some milk into the blender this drink cools everyone off!! The healthy way to stay cool!
I always get all of my kids a little fan that they wear around their neck.
We belog to the neighborhood pool 6 houses away! The little one wears a hat and we all wear lots of sunscreen!
We belong to the neighborhood pool 6 houses away! The little one wears a hat and we all wear lots of sunscreen!
I use a hat to keep my baby protected.
We live in Texas and it seems like summer is all year long. LOTS OF SUNSCREEN. We have a swimming pool in the back for the kids to play in and our dogs take advantage of it too. The great thing is that we have a big tree in the back that provides shade for the kids and dogs while swimming.
Sunscreen, water guns (I have two boys!), water hose, and lots of water and juice to drink!
We also live in Wisconsin and love going up north. My family is very fair skinned so sun block is very important and a must for our bag. Can not wait for the weather to get warm to get out on the water. Have a great day.
We love to hang out at the beach, but we don’t get there as often as we’d like. Hats are a must when outside, and sunglasses, too. We have lots of shade on our yard, so being outside isn’t so brutal.

Great giveaway! – I love fun summer bags

We wear lots of sunscreen and sun hats and keep cool in the pool during the summer!
how do I keep the kids cool…well your giveaway would help! lol seriously, lots of cold drinks and icies, a baby pool. picking veggies from the garden with the sprinklers on…if all else fails good old trip to the mall in the ac always cools them down for a bit
We use sunscreen, drink lots of water, and eat chilled/frozen fruit. We don’t have AC, so when it gets really hot, we pack a lunch and go spend the day at the library.
carriejane@lycos.com
We stay cool by crunching on ice cubes. We like cold lemonade and Koolaid. The Slip and Slide is great, too.
We eat lots of popsicles.
Load the kids up and head to Waupaca Beach for an afternoon of swimming and sandcastles! We “grease” the kids up with sunscreen which was bought during some of Wags good deals and plop a big golf umbrella in the sand for a little piece of shade.
Lots of sunscreen, lots of smoothies, iced tea, and coffee frappacinos!
we love to sit with our feet in the kids pool and eat ice cream
I make sure the kids wear sunscreen (and reapply it as necessary) and drink lots of water.

This will be the first summer that my one-year-old will be going to the pool, so I’m sure we’ll pack a sunhat, sunscreen, lots of juice and snacks, and stick to the shade as much as possible.
We use sunscreen everytime we are out in the sun!
My girls & I spend our time at our local YMCA pool. We wear hats, sunscreen, drink alot of water, & eat a ton of popsicles.

At soccer practice my boys wear bandanas, that have been drenched in cold water, around their necks. Thanks for the chance to win the prize!
We stay INSIDE in front of a fan! =)
I always put the sunscreen on before we even put the swimsuits on and go out into the sun.
I usually put the sunscreen on before we get dressed for the pool, and then we head out. I like to move a chair completely into the baby pool to lounge!! (But it only works when there aren’t many kids there.)

Great giveaway! We stay cool in the shade, with sunscreen and lots of water – for drink and play!
Our backyard is very shady, so we hang out with the neighbors in our yard. The kids run through the sprinkler, play on the swingset, and just enjoy each other’s company!
To keep cool – place sprinklers in front of our swingset and swing on the swings right into the sprinklers, and place a hose down the slide to make a water slide. Tons of Fun! and lots of popsicles.
To keep from getting a sunburn – waterproof sunscreen, sunglasses, hats, etc. and applying often!
We love the spray on sunscreen – it covers so easily. We also enjoy going to the pool to keep cool.
we play in the pool, use sunscreen, and hit the mall on the really hot days!
sunscreen for everyone and hats for the baby! We love going to the lake!
We use tons of sunscreen and make sure we always have our hats and sunglasses. Our bag always includes baby powder since we are more often packing for the beach rather than the pool, and baby powder helps keep sand OUT of the minivan!
we use rons of sunscreen and have a pool and one of those water slides for the kids to play on. Since we live in the south, summers are killers for us!
I love to use California Baby sunblock on my kids…safe and works well!
We always put our pool under a shaded tree and make sure everyone has sunscreen on.
Thanks for the chance to win.
I keep my kids cool by sending them to Camp-Y-Koda for a few weeks in summer; this way they play with lots of friends and play in the water. Before they leave each day, they are coated with sunscreen and are instructed to reapply more later in the day.
We play in our backyard…a lot. It’s completely shaded. We play with a kiddie pool and lots of other water toys. I also keep the fridge in the garage stocked with Juicy Juice, Capri Suns and water bottles. Oh, there are plenty of freeze pops too.
Redheads = Sunscreen!

Thankfully out boat has a top, so I stay under it with my little man. He’s only been on one boat ride so far, but he loved it. Of course, I also keep him smothered with sunscreen.
Our local community pool makes everyone take a 15 minute break every hour. We use that time to drink lots of water and re-apply sunscreen.

We go to the pool..

Thanks for the chance….I love to use those big umbrellas that you post in the sand when we go to the beach.
We always use sunscreen and are careful to keep our baby in the shade as much as possible! We have a garden and he likes to play in the yard while we work… It’s hard work keeping him cool. I can’t wait to be able to take him to the pool!
We are out in the kiddie pool almost everyday! And popsicles are great!
While I do beleive that some Vitamin D is good, we use hats and gentle sunscreen, and make sure there are some water toys when playing outside to keep us cool.
We like to head over to my Grandma’s who lives on a lake.
Thanks.

Waterballon fights, swimming in Lake Geneva, and vegan ice cream.

We visit a local park that has lots of waterplay things–and the WHOLE family gets wet! And my husband is very fair-skinned, so we are well versed in the art of sunscreen application.
We too will wear our sunscreen, wide hats, stay in the shade when possible. Thanks for the entry.
angwisch(at)hotmail(dot)com
We use lots of sunscreen, hats and swim shirts.
Hats are a great way to keep cool in the sun, and it’s almost time for me to dig out our collection. Besides the standard baseball caps, I have tried to find ones for the kids that were fun and interesting. One of their faves is a brown camoflage that my husband brought back from the Persian gulf. Adding of course liberal applications of sunscreen all over, and lots of water to drink.
Hats, water, sunscreen, and shade – that is, when I can make them keep the hats on, put suncreen on, and stay in the shade.
We spend alot of time at the pool and with lots of ice cold water. What a great giveaway!
We are in AZ so its already in the 100′s!!! We use alot of sunscreen before we go anywhere outside!
Lots of sunscreen and water fun.
Lots of sunscreen & water!
Stay in the shade and drink plenty of fluids.
We go to the local park, which has what we call “the pond” It’s shallow, has sand, and lots of kids to play with in the water.
We all wear hats when we go fishing and metal detecting. I also bring sports bottled filled with ice water. Thanks for the chance.
My son loves to splash around with the hose and spray things.
To keep cool and safe, we slather on the sunscreen and slap on a hat.
We spend a lot of time at the Beach! Can’t wait!!
I always slather on the sunscreen and the kids know that it has to happen before they head outside. We will be spending a lot of time at the beach this summer.
Our community has two pools and one is perfect for little kids, 6 and under! It is never busy and if you are a resident it’s only two dollars to get in. We love it, we go at least once a week! Because in texas the only way to stay cool is stay in or swim. we wear lots of sunscreen and my son always wears his little swim shirt to go with his bathing suit.
We wear sunscreen and hats. We also make sure to hydrate.
I start buying sunscreen early since we go through loads of it!!! Water and yes….AC for those August days that are just waaayyyy too hot to be outside
I put juice boxes in the freezer so that we have cold drinks outdoors. Ü
We enjoy the outdoors in the early morning and late afternoon when the sun isn’t the most damaging. We also wear hats, sunglasses and sunscreen.
I apply tons of sunscreen on my child so he doesn’t burn and always make sure he has his hat on. I also make sure he is well hydrated while out in the sun.
We’ll be hanging out under our shade trees with lemonade this summer!
We use plenty of sunscreen, stay in the shade if possible, and drink water.
Stumbled (aitmama).
This is my son’s 2nd summer, 1st one without A/C. I will be reading the other posts for good ideas. Time to get out the old box fans!
We stay cool with lots of popsicles!!
My kids have taken quite nicely to either the sprinklers or the hose. They are asking for it almost every night now. But, can’t blame them as it is already hitting 100 degrees here…
My 2 and 4 yr old boys spend lots of time in the wading pool, and we always use a spray on sunscreen for easy, and complaint free, sunscreen application!
Well, I have lil kids, so we sit on the underbrella picnic table and play there.
Hats! And some fun blow up pools.
Kiddy pool, sunblock, and in the really scorching heat, there’s nothing like the air conditioned public library!
We try to stay in as much shade as we can. Otherwise, we spray with (or swim in) water. We are also HUGE fans of cotton clothing. And of course we slather on the sunscreen! Thanks!

Lots of fun in the backyard pool!
I always lather my kids in sunscreen and bring lots of water. My kids LOVE to drink water and they love it when I surprise them with a juicebox!
I set up the pool in the shade, put on our sunscreen, pack up our drinks and off we go for some outside beat the heat time. Just bought another bike seat, so the boys can enjoy a nice breeze.
Thanks for the giveaway!
We have a pool in our backyard & swim in it everyday during the summer. My son is a “fish” & you can’t get him out of there during the summertime!

My boys stay cool on hot summer days with juice boxes, sunscreen and floppy hats by the pool or in the sprinkler.

The sprinkler is always a fun & easy way to stay cool, and I slather the whole family with lots of sunscreen, and stay in shady areas most of the time-thanks!
tweet tweet, thanks http://twitter.com/idahojill/status/1740710248
We always lather up with sun screen. Water fights are always fun too, to beat the heat.
We keep cool in the pool with sunscreen and munch on popsicles! I love summer!
This is a great give-away
as for keeping cool sometimes that is realy hard living in the Ca. Desert and oue temps getting up into the 100+ range on a regular basis, there are hours in our days when we have to just seek the shelter of a cool house becuase even with high SPF sunscreen burns can still happen. for the hours when the sun is not the most intense we love to play in the pool with tons of sunscreen and also the kids love to go places near by, like the local lakes, Dam or creeks so we not only stock up on sunscreen but also bugspray. and of course they love our summer trips to the beaches that are about 2 hrs away. living in Ca. there are many places to seek summer fun.
We do lots of indoor activities on the really hot days…the children’s museum is a great place to hang out and not have to worry about a sun burn. when all else fails…hats, sunglasses and sunscreen for all!
We lather up with sunscreen and love to having water fights with squirt guns!
Sunscreen, lots of liquids, inside and out!
Summer is always great in a pool, sipping juice, listening to music and then being…. splashed by your kids. The thrill and look on those faces, priceless… Love the opportunity to share the joy of life..
We eat popscicles and play in the sprinkler
We wear hats, sunscreen, and stay cool by playing in the pool.
Besides always using sunscreen and always using hats, we try to do some indoor events, in the AC and out of the sun, i.e. going to free movies, and frequenting the library! Thanks!
We love to hit the water park in the summer. They offer a parent/child swim time at 11:00 each day for the little ones before the big kid crowd hits. I really enjoy having that hour with my kids!
Lots of sunscreen, swim shirts, and hats protect my kids and me from the sun. We spend much of the summer keeping cool at the pool.
We slather on the sunblock (I’m pale as a sheet, and my kidlings are not much darker!) and turn on the sprinklers! Sometimes we’ll head to the lake.
We go to the saltwater.[If it ever warms up around here.] Lots of lotion.Hats can’t wait.Thanks.
We usually use LOTS of sunscreen and we go to the pool almost every day during the summer. I love Juicy Juicy and I know we drink a lot of juice and water to keep ourselves hydrated too. It is hot here in Texas!
Thank you for the great giveaway!
We use lots of sunscreen, rashguard shirts and caps. We are ready for the pool, we’ve already had our first 100 degree day here in South Texas.
We play outside with the sprinkler a lot.
In the summer we make sure to wear rashguards (surfer tops) with our suits to block the rays and avoid sunburn. My son looks adorable in his! Just like a lil surfer dude.

new kiddie pool for the us under a canopy & sunscreen.
We keep cool at the pool, but we are sure to slather and spray on sunscreen before we leave the house. I’m planning on using rashguard shirts with my wee boys this summer, as well as hats.

We use sunscreen, pool and the sprinkler during our summer fun!
POPSICLES!!! The first sunny day my son starts asking for popsicles. Also my little one loves the kiddie pool, and I set my chair up beside it and dip my feet in.
We use lots of sunscreen and take frequent breaks when playing outside.
I love the spray on sunscreen for babies, it doesn’t hurt their eyes and its super quick and easy to put on!
We live in Wis. too… and no air conditioning…
lite weight clothing is a must, with boys I am lucky to just get shorts on them!
Their favorite way to cool off, since we have no pool or any near by, is for me to hook up the sprinkler & let them run & jump through it. sunscreen added before hand, but they get their exercise instead of hiding in the house watching tv. And I get splashed myself, and if not run too long it doesn’t waste too much water, as it is located near the flower gardens or where the grass can get a drink.
thanks!
I found you through FreeSamplefreak.
My girls love to put the sprinkler on under the trampoline. So they can jump and splash at the same time!
I always slather the sunscreen on me & my daughter before going outside. Also I have her wear a brimmed hat to protect her little face! We cool off by playong in the sprinkler & visiting the pool!
I pick up a little $15 kiddie pool for the backyard. My little ones practically live in there all summer long- it’s great! They’ve already spent the past week there- summer hit early for us.
Lots of sunscreen! I keep trying a hat but my little guy usually rips it off!
We always use sunscreen and we try to stay out of the sun. We also drink lots of water!
Lots of sunscreen & water!
My daughter will be able to take her darling one year old to the pool this summer. Mommy is a lifeguard and taught swim team so little Miss B has already had lessons and LOVES the water. Mommy will use lots of sunscreen and little dollie will wear a hat lots, because she is so pale.
I like the use the continus spray sun block. It is nice and cool and you don’t thave to rub it in.
we are staying cool and protected from too much sun the best we can. Living in the south its not always easy to do that. We use organic and natural sunscreens, lathering up a couple times daily, apple cider vinegar to control skin ph, hats, lightweight clothes with either 3/4 sleeves or lightweight blouses of coverups. And ever so importantly, we hydrate! always carrying about bottles of water and juices!

This will be my little girls first summer outside. Being the fair skinned little girl that she is we use sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses. She loves being outside and we are looking forward to taking her to the pool and the beach!
The summers are hot here in the desert of Eastern Washington so summertime items are a must! A boat, the Columbia River, sunscreen, life jackets, water, and popsicles keeps us cool, safe, and having fun all summer long.
This would be perfect for me and my son. We have a pool at our complex and this will be his first year in it.
I like the bag idea. Everyone needs sunscreen.
I keep sunscreen in every bag and in the car so that I am never without it! We are all so fair and burn so easily that we go through a lot. But that doesn’t stop us from heading to the beach at least twice a week during the summer!
We wear sunscreen, hats and sunglasses for protect. We take each person’s favorite flavored drink and freeze it an put it in a cooler to go. It helps keep our food cold until lunch as well. Thanks for the opportunity to win this wonderful bag of goodies.

this is my 1st summer with a baby, but i bought one of those “surfer” 2-piece swimsuits (shirt and shorts) so that way alot more of her body is protected from the sun
My girls always fight over sunglasses & hats. And my 20-month old loves putting sunscreen on!
We stay in the shade when we can and wear hats and sunblock in case we can’t. A couple spray bottles with the foam fans attached are great too!

We do all the typical things to stay cool in the summer. Hats, sunglasses, sunscreen are the essensials. We go to my moms to swim and we love ice cream. This is a great giveaway and thanks for the opportunity to win.
We stay cool by playing in the shade and enjoying SWIRL To Go Frozen Fruit Juice.
My 3 yr old son loves popsicles. I usually buy the all ffriut ones, that way theres less sugar. We also have watergun fights and he’s a water bug. He loves the lake!

We do a lot of swimming during the summer, so I have to stock up on lots of sunscreen! We love the Little Swimmers, and we are down to having only one kiddo in ‘em. It will be my baby Meleah’s first summer, and I cannot wait to put her in the pool for her first swim!
My kids love using the spray on sunscreen. In the summer they put someon before going out to play. We also go throug alot of popsicles to keep us cool.

Hey there! We live in Vegas so it is always HOT! In the summer we always choose a park with a water feature. The kids are lathered in sunscreen all day. I use the stick sunscreen for their faces. They help put that on. They also have $1 spray bottles full of water at the park to keep them cool! Thanks for the giveaway!
I use a lot of sunscreen and a little tent when we’re at the beach to keep the baby covered and safe. Thanks for the entry!!

I tweeted about ya too @zabbysmom
We swim, catch frogs and play down by our pond to enjoy the summer weather here in Kewaskum Wisconsin. I use alot of spf 35 or above sunblock to protect me and my children from the suns harmful rays. I recently loss my best girlfriend to skin cancer on Feb 14th 2008. She was only 46 and left behind 3 children, and 4 grandbabies one whom was born after she passed. Staying protected is super critical as they have linked skin cancer with incidents of over exposure to the sun’s harmful rays. I would love to win this gift set so I can help my granddaughter be protected and have some fun.
