TiVo Santa Run- walk or run a 5K in downtown San Jose

Join a bunch of running/walking Santas on Sunday, December 14, 2014 at 3:00 PM for the TiVo “Santa Run Silicon Valley”. It's a new tradition in San Jose benefiting our favorite holiday traditions; Christmas in the Park and Downtown Ice. Festivities kick off at 1:00 PM on race day with the race starting at 3:00 pm. The TiVo “Santa Run Silicon Valley” is a 5K Run/Walk that is fun for the whole family. We encourage you to dress up as your favorite holiday character or tradition; Santa, Mrs. Claus, the Grinch, reindeer, elves, dreidel, menorah, ornaments, tree, candlestick. The ideas are limitless. You can do it as a group too! Bring the whole family for a day of fun; looking at festive displays, community trees and watching live entertainment at Christmas in the Park. Or, warm up those legs before the run and skate at Downtown Ice under the lighted palm trees or warm up with some hot chocolate. Either way, grandparents, parents and kids alike will all enjoy the timeless memories these great activities have to offer.

See ya there!

AT&T Park Big Event- Nov.1

http://www.bayareascience.org/festival/discovery-days-at-att-park/

The Bay Area Science Festival is holding their Discovery Days at AT&T Park on Nov 1^st(this weekend). This event teaches kids about different science topics. Booths are set up with hands-on projects, for example:

· Color Chromatography Activity

· DNA Bead Jewelry

· pH of Chemistry with Cabbage Water

· Strawberry DNA Extraction

I thought this might be something to share in case anyone was looking for something to do this weekend after the excitement of Halloween on Friday J It might also give some of them ideas for the science fair.

Have a good week!
