You can go to a drug store and get the spray for burns called SolarCaine. It's a spray foam that makes your burns kind of numb. If it's not available, ask the farmacist. They will recommend something instead.
If your blisters are really bad, you might want to see a doctor. If you get them infected you're screwed for like half of the summer.

Take some Tylenol to help with the pain.
For the burn, I always use fresh Aloe Vera, cut a leaf off and slice the leaf in half. Squeeze out the gel and smear all over.
Let it dry before putting your clothes back on. Reapply every three hours our so.
You will be amazed how well the Aloe Vera works.
If you can't get it from a plant they do sell just the gel, but make sure the ingredients don't contain alcohol, it will make the burn worse.
There is solarcaine, that is just a topical anesthetic that will reduce the pain for awhile but not deal with the burn itself
I actually have burst into flame from bad sunburns....
