That's all I can think of right now, but there's probably stuff I'm missing.
bug spray and baseball caps.
ReplyDeleteBug spray! Yes. Definitely forgot that one. I don't think we'd considered baseball caps, but we'll definitely want something like that to keep the sun off. I also forgot bike helmets. Duh. :)
