There are several cooler options for families to use. A cooler with wheels is great for walking short distances, but it will be heavy, and if you are also tasked with carrying a small child, this can become quite challenging.<\/p>\n<p>A backpack cooler is a hands-free way to carry your food wherever you need it, while keeping it at a healthy temperature. If you are not concerned about the temperature of the food, but just want to keep some drinks cold for later, freeze bottles of water overnight and put them in your regular shoulder bag or backpack to keep your beverages chilled in the summer heat. Freezing water in Ziploc bags works, too! <em>Simply fill them halfway with tap water, make sure they are closed all the way, and lay them sideways (flat) in the freezer. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Regardless of whether you use a water bottle or a Ziploc bag, make sure you wrap the beverages inside another bag or a towel so the condensation does not wreak havoc on your other belongings.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Activities\">The Activities<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It takes a few moments to lay out your picnic blanket or set up the picnic table, a few more moments to eat, and a few moments to clean up.
