| The 1st place we visited |
We are back from Hong Kong. It was fun but tiring 10 days for the family. We managed to meet up with friends and relatives and the kids had great fun during their day out at Ocean Park.

My questions this week
1) What do you pack along when you go on a day outing with the kids?
2) Which is the best theme park you have been to so far?

Hi there, those rides look so adventurous. I couldn’t do it, but I bet the kids loved it.
1) I pack snacks, water must for T, she loves water. Fruit if I am really good, and definitely sunscreen. Oh, and I always have in my purse barrettes, pony tail holders, and a comb.
2) The best one that is also the very cheapest is Happy Hollow Zoo, then Disney World, these are pretty nice too: Raging Waters, Great America.

Wonderful photos. Pack lots of snacks and drinks and of course the camera. I love Elitches in Denver.

Our kids are older (10-18) so I don’t really have to pack much for them now. If we were going on an outing to a theme park I would be sure to take a camera and sunscreen.

It’s been quite a few years since my boys are now 27 & 25 but Disney World was the best theme park.

Ohhhh! That looks like an AMAZING place to go!!
I usually pack lots of snacks and drinks for everyone, and of course my camera…and a hair scrunchy in case it’s hot if I don’t already have my hair in a pony tail.
I haven’t been to many amusement parks aside from Disneyland, Disney World and Cedar Point – they’re all my top three.
Have a great weekend, Dominique!

I have a bag premade for outings. All i have to do is toss in snacks and drinks and if anything is empty replace it. but i take wipes, meds depending on what season it is, extra outfit for each, sunscreen, hairbrush and bow for my daughter, etc.

When away for a day with the kids, I pack sun lotion, snacks, water bottles, extra clothing, music to keep us happy in the car, and other items vary depending on the location. That park looks like it was amazing! My favorite theme park is Walt Disney World in Florida. *sigh* – should be there right now with hubby. The parks there are a class act. Been to countless others that never compare in friendly workers, cleanliness, first aid ability, and beyond.

Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure in Orlando, Florida has to be the best one I ever went to with a close tie with Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. When I had kids I always took an extra set of clothes.

My kids are full grown and can pack their own stuff. I use to hate having to carry the kitchen sink around with me.
Have a great weekend!

Such beautiful photos! Glad you enjoyed the time with the children even though the trip was tiring.
On a day out, I take wipes, hand sanitizers, water, snacks, books, change of clothes and a camera! I’m sure my hobo holds more
I’ve not yet been to a theme park.
Aloh!
