Pack to Protect
Naturally you will want to stay hydrated and refreshed, so be sure to pack plenty of water or other drinks such as Gatorade or lemonade. Sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat can serve appropriately to protect you from the sun and harmful UV-rays. For best results, apply sunscreen at least 30 minutes before going outside. If you plan to be outside for the majority of the day, be sure to bring extra sunscreen and reapply every 2- 3 hours as perspiration can decrease its effectiveness.
Before you set off for a day at the park, you might want to consider bringing a lightweight tote bag or backpack containing a few essentials to keep you protected from the elements. Thus, some items to consider include:
Sunscreen
Drinking Water
Sunglasses or hat
Bug repellent (such as OFF) to prevent mosquito or tick bites
Handi-wipes or hand sanitizer
Tissues
Pack Some Extras for Fun
Taking a nature walk is an activity that your family can enjoy together at the park. Considering packing a small camera to document the things you see on the walk. For example, you may see some interesting birds or beautiful foliage to photograph. Bringing a camera is also a great way to capture some lovely family photos of your kids among the flora and fauna.

Another cute idea for young children is to assemble a small (loosely fit) duct tape “bracelet” for your child to wear. Be sure the sticky side is facing outward. The duct tape bracelet will allow your child to collect and attach
Like sunglasses, polarized goggles can improve vision and performance while protecting eyes from the elements. The goggles are especially important in outdoor sports where there might be a lot of glare from the sun. Polarized goggles' reflective coating is designed to reduce glare.
What Are Polarized Goggles?
Polarized goggles typically are used in winter sports such as skiing and snowboarding, where glare can be irritating or dangerous.

However, polarized sunglasses are also available for sports in which that seal is not as important, such as baseball and golf.
How Polarized Goggles Work
Polarized goggles are designed to reflect glare away from your eyes. They are made with a filter that blocks strong reflected rays. This includes winter sports, where sunlight can reflect off snow to create glare, and aquatic sports, where the water might make it difficult to see. However, they can be used even in non-athletic activities, such as driving, to cut down on glare and to protect eyes.
Lenses for winter and water sports often have an orange or rose-colored tint for more contrast against glare, eye doctors say. Lenses for other sports, such as baseball or golf, are more suited to differentiating between the green of the grass and the blue of the sky. These lenses have a blue or green tint. Gray is a good choice for general use, as it maintains normal color recognition.
Health Benefits of Polarized Goggles
For the most eye protection, look for goggles that offer 100 percent protection against ultraviolet rays. Our eyes are sensitive to these rays, and exposure to them can cause inflammation, cancer and vision loss, according to the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety. It is possible to get prescription polarized goggles and bifocal polarized goggles as well.
Performance Effects of Polarized Goggles
In athletic activities,cheap oakley sunglasses sale,Buy best Oakley Scalpel Sunglasses black Frame blue Lens 2457 for cheap online,discount Active Sunglasses with free shipping, polarized goggles can be an advantage.

This can limit their ability to make adjustments or avoid a dangerous area altogether. It is also harder to make out an LCD screen---to read a digital map, for instance---when wearing polarized goggles. |
