I want to go to Fred Howard on Sunday with my little familia.
What do I bring/need? Baby stuff-wise
We have shelf-stable almond milk that can go into a cooler
Snacks (they love fruit!)
Coppertone (or something baby-friendly and similar.
What else?
I've never gone to the beach with babies!

Wine/beer/liquor
Lots of patience
Running shoes

For real. I'm not kidding. Good luck. We took Kennedy to the beach a few weeks ago and we left with in an hour. It was super stressful. She kept crawling off and was trying to get into everyone's stuff around us, eating sand, eating shells, sand in her eyes.

Seriously though, I hope you guys have fun and a better beach experience than we did!

If you are able to get a sunscreen like Baby Blanket, I would get that. They sell it at Babies R Us and Buy Buy Baby. Its a physical barrier sunscreen, not a chemical one, so much fewer chemicals. Q has very sensitive skin, plus he's white as a sheet of paper, so it really helped.

I like fewer chemicals. The girls are a lot darker than me, so I am not sure how much sun they need to be getting a day. May 30 minutes as opposed to my 20? I will look into though, thanks. They are still babies : )
