Maui Mat - Aqua Lily Pad
These work so well for my littles! I can put it on my toddler's back, and she can't take it off. I also feel much better about putting this in the baby than anything with deet. Then when you are done being outside you don't have to shower to get the ...
NATPAT 24ct Buzz Patch Mosquito Repellent Patches Personal Repellent
These are my favorite floats by far. Cheap enough that if you get a hole you can just replace, but sturdy enough to enjoy over and over again.
Bluescape Inflatable Comfort Chair Lounge Pool Float, Teal, Age 14 & up, Unisex
Speaking of floaties, this is cheap, inflates in double time, AND deflates! Plus side to not being battery operated is that you never have to worry about batteries being out or having to have a power source.
Intex Double Quick III S Hand Air Pump, Black, 14.5" Height
This umbrella has lasted us the last 4 years and is still going strong. It has helped shade multiple children, and is easy to take down/put up.
5.8'x5.8' Round Outdoor Patio Beach Umbrella Red/White/Blue Gradient - Sun Squad™
This is the best, safest float we have found for our little.
Mambobaby Float Add Tail Baby Swim Float Canopy
The waterproof feature is very nice on these blankets. Put them down, put a bucket of water to wash feet in before stepping on to the side of it, and you have yourself a nice break spot!
Exclusivo Mezcla Waterproof Picnic Blankets 3-Layer 60x80 Inches Large Sandproof Beach Blanket Foldable Outdoor Blanket for Camping on Grass Picnic Mat, Abstract Green
No day at the lake is complete without fishing. These poles are convenient for travel, even in a small car. The reel is decent, and the telescoping feature is great.
ProFISHiency Pocket Combo Micro Telescopic Fiberglass Spincast Combo
This is my favorite sunblock for me, and is great for my girls hair (can’t forget those parts!). It is no where near as oily as most sprays.
Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Sunscreen Spray, SPF 70, 5oz
This is another favorite in our house. The kids can roll it on themselves without making a mess, it’s a pretty blue color that easily fades when rubbed in, and on top of that, the packaging is pretty!
Coppertone Kids Roll On Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 with Blue Color, 2.5 fl oz Tube
Hear me out. Put this in your sunscreen bag. Trust me. Roll that sunblock onto their faces, and use this to rub it in. No more greasy hands, and it makes sure the whole face is covered.
e.l.f. Cosmetics Precision Foundation Swirl Brush
This is the best investment for babies not yet walking while at the lake. We put it right on the edge of the water so baby can dip her toes in while having her toys. We stay right with though so she isn't left alone in it!
Tiny Love 4-in-1 Here I Grow Baby Mobile Activity Center - Meadow Days
Listen. My family loses things. Often. Instead of investing in a really nice waterproof speaker, we do cheaper ones. This way when they get lost, Mom doesn't get too upset. This one works very well!
Altec Lansing HydraMini Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker - Mint
If you are having a fire, these are a must have. We make everything from fried pbjs and hot ham and cheese sandwiches, to s’mores and mini pies!
Coghlans Double Cast Iron Sandwich Cooker 2044
As a mom of a baby, this is one of my most used products at the lake. This nursing cover has a rechargeable fan, and a arched neckline so you can see your baby easily while nursing and keep them cool. On top of that, the fan can be removed and used a...
The Lady Alpha Nursing Cool Cover (Sage Remington) Restock Coming July — As Seen On Shark Tank - Lady Alpha -The Nursing Cool Cover
This is a very heavy duty wagon that doubles as a beach chair!
