We’re planning to stay close to home this summer. But, summer close to home means lots of fun in the water… We’ve already been having tons of fun at the pool and Summer has only just begun!
Walmart, Huggies, and Juicy Juice want to help make sure you have loads of summer fun. Here are some tips to make sure you stay safe and happy this Summer:
Load up the lotion! Always apply sunscreen 15 minutes before heading outdoors. Be sure to reapply after towel drying, swimming or sweating.
Keep your cool. When you’re at the pool, make sure your little ones take frequent shade breaks. Along with sunscreen, tote along an oversized umbrella and plenty of juice to keep them hydrated.
Make the water big fun! Keep the encouragement coming! Praise your little learner for every kick, splash and underwater bubbles.
Here’s what we’ll be packing with us to the pool just about every day this summer:
- Huggies Little Swimmers for Noah
- Juicy Juice and Snacks
- Goggles
- Sunscreen
- Pool Toys
- Big Beach Towels
- Hand Wipes
- Lots of Energy
What will you be taking to the beach or the pool this Summer? Tell me in the comments, by 9pm June 5th, what you will pack in your beach bag and you could win a canvas bag full of goodies, from Huggies and Juicy Juice, to help you dive in to Summer fun!
UPDATED = There will be THREE winners chosen!!

We love to take a picnic and lots of sunscreen and water. Of course you can’t forget the sand toys to make a castle with.
We will take sunscreen (must have), sunglasses, floaties for son, towels and Vitamin Water.
We take sunscreen, towels, hats, extra Little Swimmers, wipes, baby powder to remove sand, water, snacks, and sand toys.
This year, with the addition of another baby, I will be adding more to my bag.
I always bring sun block, swim diapers, hats, lots of water, bug spray, and aloe gel. This year I will also need to bring some type of cover to keep the baby out of the sun and a misting fan might be a good idea too.
We always have sunscreen, snacks, water bottles, and wipes!! Thanks so much for the chance!
Sunblock, towels, snacks, extra swimmers (when she needed them)This is the first year Kaila doesn’t need diapers. yay! But we alos have a new baby who will. Sunglasses she loves her glasses. My camera, water bottles, and floaties.
This will be the first summer we go to the beach with my daughter. I know for sure we’ll pack:
*Sunblock {though she will already be doused with it}
*Sun hat
*Swimsuit
*Towels
*Water Toys
*Drinks and Goodies
*Sunglasses
*A beach umbrella for optional shade
*Blankets
*Change of clothes
*Swim diapers
*Camera
*Bug spray
Since we have two young “Toe Heads” we lotion up first then take the bottles with us. I always get a lotion stick, because it makes faces and ears a breeze. We always take frozen juice boxes for the kids and frozen bottles of water for us; by the time we need one they are the perfect slushy treat. Snacks, snacks, snacks. From cut up apples and pretzels to cookies and fruit snacks. We get the little ones in a swim diaper then take half the bag with us, trying not to forget the multi-purpose box of wipes. Baby powder is a must for all the baby’s nooks and crannies. The biggest beach towels, maybe even an extra! A sheet to lay on that no matter what we do gets sandy. Baby hat and those cute little hook n loop sunglasses, mine too but no band. Camera is a must in a plastic zipper bag hidden in a zippered pocket. And we always bring a bag full of just sand toys. And I’m sure I forgot something and I’m sure I will when we get there but never fear there is always family and friends as a back up and the beach rental or drug store is never too far away. And unless it’s sunscreen, diapers, or hydration you can usually improvise. Have fun!
Our lists includes extra set of clothes, Hats, sun glasses, Swim diapers, sun screen, Apple Juicy Juice, nose plugs, swim rings, beach ball, towels, cover ups for after, snack bags of fruit like grapes, watermelon, carrots, and fruit snacks, a Camera, and water shoes too.
And a few bottles of regular water.
Water to drink, changes of clothes, towels, fun toys, diapers, snacks, SUNSCREEN, a good book for Mom to read, and a big beach umbrella to lie under, sunglasses for everyone, wet naps to clean up, plastic baggies to tote dirty stuff home in.

No matter if I make lists and check them twice – we forget something. Now I keep a bag in the car with sunscreen, swim diapers, wipes, swim suit and towel for emergency trips to the pool. I have my regular kit and then we augment with food, water and other essentials or non-essentials. It’s really helped me.
We take lunch, bottled water, towels, Huggies Little Swimmers for the little one, and toys with us.
In our beach bag… towels, extra clothes, sunscreen, hats, food… lots of food, frozen water bottles, water flavor sticks, swim diapers, goggles, sand toys, baby wipes and diapers. It doesn’t quite fit in the bag, but always comes along- playpen, beach chairs and umbrella for those moments that we are not sunning away…

and fabreeze to spray the wet clothing so they dont reek as much

But besides that, snacks, towels, sunscreen, some books, and a camera.

SUNSCREEN!
we take sunscreen, large beach towels, toys to play in the sand and snacks & drinks
I will take a sippy cup, towel, sun hat, sunblock,and a t-shirt that will cover my son’s chest. It will get wet so he will need to change back into the shirt he wore to the pool.
my bag is stuffed to the brim with: towels, sunblock, snacks, water, extra clothes, books, camera, phone, beach toys, plastic bag for wet stuff & water wings.
We like to take lots of toys including a bucket and pail! We take a spongebob blanket, sunscreen, water, juice, snacks and lots of smiles!
We take all the usuals–sunscreen (I’m a fair redhead–so that’s a must!), snacks, juice, etc. But I ALWAYS make sure to have a container of baby powder in my beach bag–NOTHING gets sand off those little tootsies (and tushies! ;-P ) better that sprinkling them with some baby powder. It absorbs that last bit of moisture and the sand just brushes right off. Its a great and cheap addition to your “must have” list when headed to the shore!
We take towels, sunscreen, pool toys, life-vests for the little ones, and water to drink. Too bad we aren’t close to the beach
I will be bring Sunblock, Sun hat, Swimsuit, Towels, Water Toys, Drinks and Goodies, Sunglasses, A beach umbrella for optional shade, Blankets, Change of clothes, Swim diapers, Camera,and Bug spray

We take water, sunscreen, towels or blankets, baby wipes (not just for diaper changes) and sand/water toys.
I’m always ready with a book (for me and for my son) and plan to have sunscreen, water, and obviously towels on every excursion. Probably some hand wipes, too.
Plus my first aid kit!
I always say I’m not going to bring too much stuff, but I’m also have one of those better safe than sorry mentalities. Here’s my usual list:
-beach towels, beach blanket, sunblock (lots and lots), lipbalm with sunblock, beach umbrella, small cooler with snacks and juice, lots of water and lemonade, wipes, my camera with extra battery, travel first aid kit, our “beach” flip flops, sun hats and sun glasses for everyone, our swimsuits and coverups (mommy protects herself from the sun too!), and of course TOYS!

We will definately take along water, snacks, towels, sunscreen and camera.
We are planning on hitting the local pool and beach hard this year! After today’s trip, which was lacking a few necessities, we’ll be taking:
wipes
extra towels
juice/water
snacks
camera
swim diapers
life vest/floaties
We have already hit the pool the last two weekends. I’ve got a 7 month old and 2 year old so I need things to be easy. I use spray on sun screen to quickly apply and to get the maximum coverage on squirming boys. I also love the 100 calorie snacks and of course the Snack Trap for goldfish. Bottled water and straws go in our cold pack as well.
The Target dollar spot has been a great place for me to hit for inexpensive toys. They have those little squishy water balls 3 in a pack. They’ve also got great sandbuckets and other things. Toys are important.
We’ve also got a safety vest for our 2 year old and the 7 month old goes in an inflatable crab. We realized we really need a wagon or cart for all of this stuff.
We are big fans of the Huggies swimmers. Keeping my fingers and toes crossed I win.
Since I have 5 boys to be packing for, I will probably need more than one beach bag! My bags will more than likely contain Huggies Little Swimmers (that i actually bought today), several cans of sunscreen, a couple of sun sticks for the little faces, towels, drinks, a book-ha… like I will have time to read it,magazines, sunglasses, baby powder, something to put on jelly fish stings, sand toys, toys for the baby, a football, frisbee, hats, snacks, diapers and wipes, spray bottle, and of course my camera and video camera. Thanks for the chance to win your giveaway!
When we hit the beach this summer we’ll be taking: sunblock, towels, drinking water, food, hats, baby powder (great for taking sand off of little bottoms, feet, hands, etc. without scratching the skin!), diapers & wipes, lotion, dry/warm clothes for going home in.
i take
-little swimmers
-towel

**With 5 kids, once we set out everything in our bag, it looks a bit like we are taking over the pool or beach (which ever we go to). But we like most people take Huggies swim diapers (I still have 2 1/2 kids in diapers), juicy juice drinks, water, snacks, flip flops, fuzzy towels, an umbrella, lots of fresh fruit, diapers, wet wipes, floaties, life vests, beach toys–you gotta have a ball. And depending on if I remember or not a Camera.
