Summer Beach Runs

This is a copy of an email I received about Summer Beach Runs! We went last night and now we're hooked!

School is out for summer! Parents looking for activities for the kids have
an ally at the "Kids' Summer Beach Runs." Presented by Sarasota County
Parks and Recreation and New Balance Sarasota, the beach runs are the
perfect way to let kids work off that summer vacation energy. The runs are
offered every week through August 11 at the following locations: Siesta
Beach, 948 Beach Rd., Siesta Key and Venice Pier, 1600 Harbor Dr., Venice.

Registration at each location begins at 5:30 p.m. and the 1-mile beach runs
start promptly at 6:30 p.m. The Siesta Beach Run is held every Tuesday and
the Venice Beach Run is held every Wednesday. A one-time registration fee
of $1 lets kids compete in as many of the beach runs as they like.

Kids who complete four runs, receive a free T-shirt and a 50% off voucher
for a pair of New Balance Kids shoes. The runs can be completed all at one
location or mix it up and visit both beaches. All runners win a ribbon and
a free ice-pop each time they run! The "Kids' Summer Beach Runs" are a
great way to get some exercise and have tons of fun at the same time. The
"Kids' Summer Beach Runs" are sponsored in part by New Balance Sarasota.

For more information, contact the Sarasota County Call Center at
941-861-5000 and ask about the "Kids' Summer Beach Runs" or visit

Southeastern Guide Dogs


This summer our goal is to find adventures where we live! The less expensive the better! We look forward to sharing them.

Today we visited the campus of Southeastern Guide Dogs! We pet puppies, got to see the campus and even walked an older dog. The boys loved it. All of them(including my handsome husband) wanted to bring home a dog, :).

Please check out their web site and see how you can contribute to their amazing work! We have!
