What to Bring
Pack for a day trip - Bring snacks, Covid masks, hand towels or disposable wipes and plenty of liquids to drink.
Dress in old clothes and hiking boots or old athletic shoes; you want to be comfortable and not worried about staining or tearing your clothes! If the ground is wet, it will really ruin any nice shoe, so wear your beat up old ones! Bring heavy gloves to protect your hands and a jacket or other garment to protect your arms.
Bring layered clothing, and some extra socks and a blanket. Dress for the weather. The kids may get wet feet, or cold. When you get back to the car, you can wrap them up in the blanket and they'll sleep all the way home!
The weather could change without notice. If you get hit by a downpour (presuming it's not cold enough for snow), be ready to switch to Plan B.
Pack snacks. You'll be gone for a while and all that being outdoors will work up a big appetite! Bring a cooler and pack it with your favorite snacks; hot chocolate or warm apple cider are great.
Do not forget the camera. You may want to capture those memories you're making.
