Hilarious Video Sums Up How a Trip to the Beach Changes With Kids

Remember when a day at the beach meant sunshine and relaxation? Not anymore. A family outing to the beach is a far cry from peaceful. You now obsess over the sun’s harmful rays, keeping an eye on your little ones at all times and making sure your family is hydrating through the heat. Not to mention the pure torture that is packing up your beach gear and lugging it back to the car at the end of the day. The Holderness Family YouTube channel, consisting of a family of four, created an all-too-relatable music video to sum up how going to the beach changes once you have kids.

As the parody video so perfectly captures, the carefree days of rolling up to the beach with just a towel and an iced coffee are long gone. It’s a whole other experience now. Prepare yourselves for this new kind of fun in the sun by brushing up on summer sun safety tips. Here’s a checklist to make sure you don’t miss a beat, and be sure you have your go-to baby sun hat and beach tent at the ready to protect your little one’s skin.
