Why certanly!! It's actually a nice sized fridge. It runs off of Propane. But no worries there either. I got a few 20lb bottles left over from years past ( Thanks Jeswinehart!! ).
FYI, I am bringing coolers for my canned beverages and such.

I think how cooler will do us fine for our regular food. I am just worried about the milk. It would be nice not to have to run to the store evry time he needs some. This situation is starting to look a lot better.

Just relax, kick back and come make some great memories at TF!! I am sure your boy will have a ball. If you want I will bring him a 3 wheeler he can ride ( See Picture ). Might as well get him on 3 wheels as well.

That is so cool. I bet he would love that. I bought a Power wheel three wheeler a while back. As soon as I can find some bateries and a charger for it, I plan to get him started on that. I already have the Zinger freshly rebiult and waiting.

We always bring milk in our cooler. Cereal from a styrofoam cup is an easy breakfast to make! I fill several Gatorade bottles with water and freeze them. They keep the cooler as it should be, and when they melt we have cold drinking water. Remember that large chunks of ice last a lot longer than bags of crushed ice. A frozen 2 liter bottle will last for 3 days in a cooler kept closed.

Thanks Tim, that is great advice.

I am not a parent but I learned this trick as a young girl playing in softball tournaments. The great thing is that this works for anyone at any age, try this out. A day or two before your trip soak several(this will help to make sure you can alternate) hand towls and place them in plastic ziplock bags. Place in fridge or freezer (your choice) a child this small; probably fridge.

During your trip leave these down inside cooler/cooler water when it melts. Pull these out during those really hot times and drape them around the back of his neck. You may want to wait a couple of minutes if you think they will be too cold for him. Doing this will help to keep internal body heat down some to prevent heat exhaustion. This works great for anyone of any age.

Alternative method: keep a seperate small cooler for just these towls put ice over them. As the ice melts it will create cold wet towels for you again & again. Hope you find this info at least somewhat helpful.

This is actually such a good idea that most outdoor gear stores that sell camping supplies and such have neck wraps designed to do just this function and are engineered to last longer without such drastic temp changes over time. I had one once (but lost it) and it worked well...the contact surface, outer cloth, actually stayed rather dry, but the the internal substance was very cooling and efficient.

Now, with that said...it's cool that you are even considering this. You are a MUCH braver man than I.

Thay say there is a fine line between bravery and stupidity. I am not sure which side of the fence and am on just yet.
