This past weekend was the first of summer break for us! And one of our favorite things to do during the summer is to spend all day at the lake. My husband's family has a lake cabin that we all share. And we love inviting all of friends and their families to come down to just hang out. We go on boat rides, fish, grill out, and hang out lake side all day long.

 

This past weekend we did just that. We invited all of our friends down and had an awesome lake day. The day started out pretty cloudy and it even rained mid day, but after that the sun came out shining bright. Plus side the rain made some nice mud that the kiddos had fun playing in.

This  is why it is so important to still wear sunscreen even in the colder winter months. When you wouldn't normally think about sunscreen. I was recently sent different sunscreen products from Blue Lizard. I have heard about their products for a while now and even received a sample in the Sun & Fun Box from 16 Minute Club. I was excited to try what else they had to offer.

I received complimentary products to provide this review. All opinions are my own.
