Have your kids also wear socks and shoes instead of slippers and sandals. Mud can also contain several colonies of spores or protozoans that could slip into your skin and cause infections and even diseases (take note that ticks could very well stick and burrow in the callouses of your skin, transmitting diseases such as Lyme.)
Schedule your trip in a strict manner, following curfews and avoiding getting lost and/or separating from the group. 12 am means 12 am, everyone should be at the car by then. Mosquitoes and other insects are very active during the time between dusk till dawn. Although you might be safe from the sun, its the insects that you need protecting from. Also, try and cut down from scented soaps and oils, or particularly anything that can enhance how you smell. Bugs and mosquitoes would surely home in on you.
If you have a baby in a stroller, don't forget to replete the usual accoutrement. Put a bug screen over the baby's stroller so the mosquitoes don't get in and irritate baby's delicate skin. Or worse, transmit an infectious disease that could put her health in jeopardy.
Take note that with insect repellents, it is not recommended to reapply it every now or so often, just because you don't feel that it works. Repellents have a certain compound called DEET, which is quite not safe in large amounts. DEET is available in some repellents, and is there to make sure that the repellent lasts long and stays long especially in outside environments.
Long sleeves also help by not only keeping the mosquitoes away, it also regulates some of the heat of your body (keeping it inside if you're going out in a cold night, or keeping the sun away when you're going out in day time).
