Some people like to wear a bandanna (to keep stuff out of their nose/mouth while theyβre laughing and screaming)
A towel or two (to dry off but also to line your car seat if youβre driving)
Baby wipes are handy to clean up
Spare set of clothes if you need to look presentable to the world later
Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated from all the running around!
