Tips for Summer with Kids: Outfit Ideas, Bug Sprays, and Sunscreens!
Summer is here, and we are soaking up every sunlit moment! In Jackson Hole, the summer season is packed with exciting activities: hiking adventures, swimming, bike rides, concerts at Snow King, rodeo nights, and bustling farmers' markets. With a 2 1/2-year-old and a 1-year-old, summer is a welcome change from the winter months, where dressing for the cold feels like bundling up in 1800 layers!
Today, I’m sharing my favorite summer outfit for toddlers, along with some must-have bug sprays and sunscreens to keep your little ones protected and happy.
🌞 Our Favorite Summer Outfit for Toddlers
When it comes to summer style for the kids, comfort and cuteness are key! Here’s a look at my go-to summer outfit for my two boys:
👟 Crocs: Perfect for outdoor adventures! They’re easy to slip on and off, quick to clean, and super comfortable for little feet.
👕 Zara Henley: A classic and breathable option for those sunny days. The soft cotton fabric keeps them cool and cozy.
🩳 Free Fly Toddler Breeze Shorts: These shorts are not only stylish but also lightweight and moisture-wicking, making them ideal for playdates and park outings.
🧢 Lemoine Embroidered Rope Hat: Of course our outfit needs a Lemoine Rope Hat! It is both functional and fashionable and keeps those little faces protected from the sun.
