In answer to your question, I have been taking Alyssa and Ryan to the park at least two times a wee. We usually go around 11:30am, when they’re raring to go but when it’s not super-hot out yet. I bring along an insulated bag with sandwiches, drinks (usually bottled water, though today I brought along Capri Sun), and snacks — crackers, cheese wedges, grapes, sometimes chips, etc.

And since this is a small park that has a large amount of paths and open grassy areas for the kids to play in and ride around in, I also bring along Alyssa’s bike and Ryan’s scooter, and my netbook to work/play on while they play their hearts out.

As a matter of fact, I’m typing this from the park right now. We have been here for almost three hours! The food has been demolished, the water bottles have been refilled twice, and the kids are starting to look pretty flushed, though I’ve been pushing fluids on them every 15-20 minutes and have re-applied sunscreen twice. I think it’s time for us to pack up and head home!
