Weather Kid: 5th Grader Katie 5.24.24

Get ready to blow your kids’ minds and make them the coolest, most famous kid at school! All you have to do is sign them up to be the Andie Summers Show Weather Kid. It’s really easy. Make sure your kiddo is up early enough to be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed around 7 am on Friday. The members of The Andie Summers Show will chat with you to confirm all of your information, and then we’ll talk to your child. We might ask about school, interests, and love life :). You know, the usual cute kid stuff. Then we’ll tell your child what to say to report the weather. It’s all recorded and will be edited to make everyone sound their best. We’ll play your child back at 7:10, 8:10, and 9:10. So, if you’re chosen, make sure to tell your friends and family to listen!!!
Register here and your child could be the official Andie Summers Show Weather Kid. Weather Kids are heard on  The Andie Summers Show every Friday at 7:10am, 8:10am, and 9:10am. We will also post audio the podcast of our conversation right here, so you can share it with your friends and family.
Not only will your little one be a radio star, they will also receive a really cool Mini Melts Ice Cream prize pack that your kid will love! Thanks to our friends at Mini Melts Ice Cream: For the coolest treat, head to Wawa and grab a single serve cup from the signature mini melts stand-alone freezer. And make it a Mini Melts Moment.

If you're a dog owner you may be wondering if there are dog-friendly beaches in this area. There are, and they're right at the Jersey Shore!

Yes, you and your pup are welcome, even during summer. Typically, dogs are not allowed on the beach during the on-season. For good reason, too. Crowded beaches with people who may or may not like dogs are probably not a god idea for your pup. In order to prevent issues, beach towns tend to only allow dogs on beaches from (roughly) October to April.

But, there is a way for you to take your dog to the beach without freezing solid. And that is the beautiful world of dog-friendly beaches. A world of sand and sun and happy doggies frolicking in the water. These beaches are close enough for a day-trip from Philadelphia, and your dog will thank you. The spring and summer get pretty dang hot. It's only fair to let your fur-baby get in on the fun of a shore trip.

A tip, though. Be prepared for sand, and a lot of it. As long as you account for a wet and sandy puppy, it'll be a good time. But that's the fun of it, right? Letting your dog enjoy something you enjoy, too. It's okay that they get a bit messy on ya!

If you're looking to make a vacation of it, don't fret. There are also dog-friendly rentals in every shore town. So you and your furry friend can stay and lounge in style. Make the trip to check out one of these awesome dog-friendly beaches.

Longport Dog Beach is an off-leash dog beach located at Malibu Beach Wildlife Management area in Egg Harbor Township, NJ. Dogs of all sizes are allowed to play in the sand and water, unrestricted. It's open year-round for your pup to play. But of course, what makes it paw-mazing is that you can visit during the summer months. A rarity at the Jersey Shore!

Look for the giant fire hydrant sculpture. There you will find a doggy heaven. Wildwood Dog Park and Beach in Wildwood, NJ is a dog-friendly spot where owners can walk their dog under the boardwalk and access the beach. There is plenty of room for you and your fur-baby to bask in the sun and take a swim. Dogs must be leashed on the beach itself, but the fenced-in dog park is leash-free!

The Eighth Avenue Dog Beach in Asbury Park, NJ welcomes pups all year long. From September to May, you dog is free to play all day long. In the summertime, though, you and your doggo should plan an early morning or evening visit. Dogs are prohibited between 8:30 am and 6:00 pm. But when your dog can step on the beach, an off-leash run at this popular beach will be in order.
