It's the final countdown... The 4th of July weekend is here, and we have a great list of events in and around the Acadiana area for families to enjoy. Whether you want to make a one-tank trip or stay close to home, we've got the events listed for you.
I had the opportunity to be part of our national team to promote the new Smurfs movie, which is coming to theaters on July 18. We have a really fun article this week with great ideas for fun and creative projects you can do with the kids to get ready for the movie. Check out Blue-tiful Fun! 6 Smurfy Projects Packed With Creativity & Kindness for inspiration. I, of course, got busy with my paper towels and toilet paper rolls and created an entire Smurf village with my daughter. Let me know if you tried one of the craft projects!
