There just really wasn't another option. They learned to take off their shoes and socks before going into water - since that bothered them the most - but they say they don't mind wet pants. If it's not super cold I'm cool with them finding what amount of uncomfortable they can live with.<br /><br />The only time I've had issue with clothing getting soiled from accidents are in my diapered kids, and they have a simple change of clothes in their wet/dry bags. They only have one though so if that gets dirty too it's just time to head home.Kirbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10273803585943545418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-232664651858738176.post-37492511760673645742017-02-07T14:22:34.377-06:002017-02-07T14:22:34.377-06:00Hahaha, I can see how scanning the title would cau...Hahaha, I can see how scanning the title would cause that.

But once they do, it's an amazing world of freedom! We can easily take family hikes and I have expect my 3-4 year olds to walk the whole thing. It makes the whole experience much more enjoyable!

You have really inspired me with your ideas (especially since I don't have a car when my husband's at work). We don't live in a very pedestrian-friendly area, but when we hopefully move to a house in the future, we're going to try to get someplace that is pedestrian-friendly so that I can get out and about more often, especially as Peter gets older. I think it's interesting that you pack so lightly-I'm guessing that perhaps it keeps your kids from having accidents because they know you didn't bring a change of clothes, so they're stuck with what they've got-has it worked like that for you guys?

Controlling 2 and 3 yr olds plus a 5 month old!) but I was looking into a triple stroller so we could walk more. That's amazing your little ones are building up the strength and stamina to walk a mile at a time! Honestly, what stresses me most about going out is getting everyone in and out of the carseats alone, so walking more sounds great to me!Biancahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10629074229091510163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-232664651858738176.post-2917596277959423282017-02-03T20:10:06.952-06:002017-02-03T20:10:06.952-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Biancahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10629074229091510163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-232664651858738176.post-30435143806149997692017-02-03T20:08:47.570-06:002017-02-03T20:08:47.570-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Biancahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10629074229091510163noreply@blogger.com
