Diamond Fork Hike

Today we walked in Diamond Fork. It was a beautiful sunny day and my challenge was to keep the sun off Sara. She is going to be a very fair skinned child due to the red hair gene and Utah has particularly scorching sun so it will be a fun challenge. Today we began by applying an Octopus to her head.



Little Swimmers makes these UV stickers for kids so you can tell exactly how much you've roasted them and you won't have to just guess. We also put on 50 sunblock twice and I kept a light blanket over part of her head for shade. Still, I think we got a little pink but not red like we did on our Rock Canyon hike.

It will be fun to explain, should she get some sun on her face, why she has a white octopus shape tan line between her eyes!

Glad you clued us in :)

Such a pretty place to hike !

Yes, I hadn't thought of that. I guess that's the real point of the stickers, to limit sun exposure so you don't have to explain to people why they have sea creature white spots on their heads. Thanks for buying us these Nanna,they're cool!

One thing that has worked well for our kids is a sunscreen stick for faces. Sophie has sensitive skin and eyes and so regular sunscreen makes her eyes swell shut. The stick rubs on really well and it's easy to transport. We're pretty paranoid about our kids' skin since their dad has already had skin cancer and they don't tan.

Thanks Foxy, that's a good tip.
