I also have found that the brush on mineral sunscreens are amazing!! I have seen one at Costco seasonally. I order my sunscreen at www.colorescience.com – their “Sunforgettable” brush on sunscreen SPF 50 is fantastic.
I use the brush on sunscreen on myself as well as my kids, it’s just so easy!
These brushes are a little pricey, but they last forever and work really well.
If I’m doing a longer hike or for the day at camp, I do lotion sunscreen, then reapply with the brush.
Hats are a must have also for sun and skin protection!
Camping with a toddler intimidates me to no end. My sister does it with her 2 all the time, but the thought of bringing my son camping, gah! I can’t! At least not yet!
I loved everything about this! I’ve been trying to convince my husband that we need a family camping trip (he’s super afraid of snakes!). You are spot on about the wipes. You can never have enough wipes when traveling anywhere with a toddler! I’ve also found you can never have enough plastic bags for used cups, dishes, wet clothes, etc., when traveling.
Yes! Plastic bags are super useful too! You’re so right!
