We just returned from a very hot week in the Outer Banks. I can’t really complain about the heat because we did not have a drop of rain and stayed on the beach from morning to night with brief breaks inside to snack or eat. With the amount of time we were playing in the sun, it was extremely important to make sure we were drinking enough water and fluids. I have never seen my girls go through so many water bottles. We went through 1/2 a case of water a day and quite a few Fruitables. After seeing how much we were drinking, it was better to take re-useable bottles. Here are some of our favorites to help keep hydrated during the remaining summer days whether at the beach, at the park, at the pool, running in the backyard, or running errands to get ready for back-to-school (see below image):
1. Cool Gear Inc Can: Fun for parents and kids, this 16 oz can keeps drinks cold up to 6 hours and is fun to use to keep hydrated in the sun. Fill with water, iced coffee for mommy, juice or follow the cute drink recipe on the back of the can. On my trip, I rceived lots of compliments on my can and many asking where to get one. You can find them at Walmart, and Bed, Bath and Beond. Cool Gear Inc also has a variety of other fun bottles you and your family will love.
2. Tervis Water Bottle: Also great for parents and kids because of the many great designs and holds up to 24 ounces of water, perfect for long outings and very hot days.
3. Pottery Barn Kids Klean Kanteen: Love the adorable styles. This bottle can be personalized. It is the perfect size for little ones on the go.
5. Thermos Smoke Hydration Bottle: This is my oldest daughters favorite because she loves the flip top carrying loop. It is great for adults too. The bottle holds up to 24 ounces of water with a leak-proof proof lid and a rotating meter lets you monitor your daily water consumption.
4. Stephen Joseph Little Squirts: We have not used this bottle but my daughter saw it recently and asked for it as a birthday/ back-to-school gift. The cute pouches are re-usable, freezeable, foldable and perfect for a quick drink on-the-go!
