Summer Tips for On the Go

During the summer our family likes to be on the go. You can find us heading to friends’ houses for a playdates or meeting up at the park or pool. We’re even lucky enough to live a few hours away from a few beautiful beaches and fresh Florida springs. So my husband and I enjoy taking the kids on road trips quite a bit.

This week our family hit the pool and stayed cool with Capri Sun as part of this sponsored post.

One thing that is common about all of our adventures is making sure we pack the right things for our adventures to keep the kids well fed and hydrated. The summer sun can get pretty busy, especially when you’re running around having fun with family and friends.

Our Summer Travel List Contains

  • Drinks
  • Snacks
  • Change of Clothes
  • Books
  • Activity Bag
  • Sunscreen
  • Bug Spray and Anti-Itch Cream
  • First Aid Kit

One special treat we’ve found is Capri Sun Roarin’ Waters. With its shiny silver pouch the kids think it’s a fun way to hydrate*.

I love storing it in the freezer overnight before our outing and then popping it in the cooler when we head out. The kids think they are getting a special treat but they are really getting lightly fruit flavored water.

Plus it contains no artificial colors or flavors and it’s low-calorie. That’s a win in my books!

Summer Fun Tip for Capri Sun:

Want to make Capri Sun poaches seem ever more special?

Put them into the freezer and take out to defrost for just a few moments and you now have a summer slush to enjoy after your outdoor adventures.

Eco Fun with Capri Sun Box:

On all those road trips we like to pack a few books to read for the car ride. This summer we are making book boxes to keep in the car for our adventures. So simple to make too. Just reuse your Capri Sun box, eco-friendly & fun! With my daughters, we took the box and covered with scrapbooking paper.

Then each time we head out she loads with a few books for the car.

MOM FACTOR:

Have you seen the new bottoms on Capri Sun? My oldest daughter loves this feature now and I have to say as a Mom I do too! Check out this video on how Mom’s inspired the clear bottom on Capri Sun Pouches. 

Wishing your family an adventurous summer filled with memories. Having the right things packed makes it so much easier. Are you ready for a fun family summer?
