Answer 4

For the summer we always have at least 4 bottles of sunscreen to start with, at least two caps for each of the kids, flip flops for all, extra beach towels.  We stock up on the popsicles, bottled water, juice boxes etc so they are always on hand.  Bug repellant is a must as well as antiseptic spray for the occassional stings and bites.  bandaids are a must for all the scrapes on the knees and elbows.  Then we get into the water guns, balls and other things for them to do outside as well as some new movies etc for the rainy days when we have to stay in.  Above all else stock up on patience because once school is out and they are home all day with about a dozen friends I need all I can get.
