Help! How much to pack.

So we are headed to the lake house for Fourth of July.... We will be there 5 days and I have no idea how many clothes/stuff to pack for DD.

I have 5 "outfits" (Two fourth of July ones)

7 Onesies (I could pack up to 10)

2 pairs of footed pj's plus one short sleeve/short pj for lounging.

3 swaddle pods (I only have 3)

3 pairs of socks (Its going to be hot so she will probably be bare footed)

1 swimsuit for photo op

1 sunhat

1 blanket

5 burp cloths

2 bibs

Sundry items... lotion, baby wash, wipes and aspirator.

The closest store is a grocery, about 10 min away. 

Should I pack anything else??? Obviously we are bringing her pack-n-play, bouncy chair, and play mat...

We are going to have one FULL car load of mostly baby stuff.

    Think about what she uses on a normal day and multiply by 5. I'm big on traveling as light as possible since I realized I often over pack.

    Diapers?  I'm assuming you just forgot to list them, but don't forget to pack them. 

     Also, on the few overnight trips we've taken, I've found we need a lot more wipes than I think we will.  We've almost run out twice.

    I'm going to guess your baby isn't a spitty baby since I use five burp cloths a day.  Also if you bf something to cover with I use receiving blankets so you can nip or at least outside.

    I'd pack a few more outfits just in case one doesn't fit the way you thought it would. I just took a long weekend trip with DD2 and that was the one thing I nearly ran out of. Maybe one more blanket and more diapers than you think you'll need (unless it will be easy to get more if you run low).

    Do you have a washer and dryer at said lake house? We are headed to our family beach house but have a washer and dryer so I don't have to bring 10 days worth of clothes...If not I'd bring aa lot more clothes, burp rags, blankets.
