Picnics, BBQs, sandy beaches, swimming, flip flops, and family vacations are just a few things I love about summer time down here in the South. I love when I walk out of my house and all my neighbors are out watering their gardens and the children are riding their bikes down the street. Summertime just seems to bring families together. 
The worst part about summer time is the heat, we are only in early July and already in the mid-90s, but with our high humidity, it feels like it is well over 100. One thing I have learned from having children is no matter where I go or what I do I need to be prepared. From a simple day at the beach to a week long theme park vacation, keeping your sanity means being prepared for the unexpected. Your one stop shop for everything summer is SwimOutlet as they have everything from swimsuits and pool toys to MP3 players and beach chairs.
One of the most unique items I found on their website was the Picnic Time Zuma Backpack Cooler available in blue or black. The top section of the backpack is a mess bag with draw strings which would be perfect for a spare change of clothes or a wet swimsuit. The bottom section is an insulated cooler featuring a large zipper and can hold up to 20 canned drinks. There is even a front pocket that would be perfect for your keys, phone or wallet.
You will no longer need to tow around a big bulky ice chest everywhere you go. Just slip the backpack on and you are ready to go and have your hands free to carry everything else children need! The backpack would be perfect for a day at the beach, zoo, children’s field trips or just to keep in the car during a long car ride. Available at SwimOutlet for only $29.95.
