In case of emergencies

Always have a swim suit ready!

OK, so this only really applies to the summer. But it is a very important piece of clothing that should be accessible at all times and I learned that the hard way.

One afternoon, when the line up was too long at Wonderland, we decided to head over to Wild Water Kingdom. There was barely anyone there; I think they were all at Wonderland. The kids changed into their swimsuits but we didn't have ours. So we had to go chasing after two very active kids, through all sorts of wading pools and fountains in our denim Capri's and t-shirts.

By the end of it we were soaked!

Now I always carry a swim suit with me, just in case.
