Ah, summer. The season of ice cream and bike rides and, ah shit, how long until school starts back up? The truth is, summer can feel a bit stressful. It’s the season of fun, after all. And that reputation comes with a certain list of demands. Days on the calendar need to be filled with exciting activities for kids that make the beautiful weather worthwhile. But, the one truth about summer is it’s often over before you know it. And it’s important to enjoy the time before things get really hectic again. To spend a lot of time outside. To enoy good food. To teach the kids how to catch a Frisbee, skip a stone, or spend a lazy afternoon in the sun (it is an art, after all). To help you out, here’s a list of simple activities no summer is complete without. We hope it inspires you to have a family summer you won’t forget.

What SPF Number Should I Buy?
SPF stands fo ‘sun protection factor’. Board Certified Dermatologist Dr. Claire Wolinsky says to opt for an SPF of 30 because you’ll get 97 percent protection against UVB rays when you use it correctly (meaning: apply about one ounce every two hours), while an SPF of 15 provides 93 percent coverage. Beyond SPF 30, the benefits are incremental.

How Much Should I Put On?
According to Dermatologist Dr. Rachel Maiman, you want to apply enough sunscreen to cover all the skin that clothing won’t cover. “Most adults need about one ounce — or enough to fill a shot glass — to fully cover their body,” she says. Allow the sunscreen to dry 15 minutes before going outdoors. When outdoors, reapply approximately every two hours or after sweating, swimming, or any other water exposure.
