Macaroni KID New Iberia Recommends

Our Top Picks Happening In and Around New Iberia This Week

By by Tracie Ysaguire, Publisher for Macaroni KID New Iberia August 5, 2022

What a week it has been! This rain has been a drag, cancelling some of our fun summer plans, but it sure makes these hot August days much cooler! I literally took a shower three times in one day thanks to all these downpours! And speaking of rainy days... what do you do when you are stuck inside? Check out the 14 Fun Inside Activities For Kids to combat the rainy day blues.  

One of my favorite things to do on a rainy day on the weekend is to cook a huge batch pancakes. It can be a bit of a mess to clean up so now that I have seen this easy recipe for 2 Ingredient Drop Donut Holes, I think we may have a new rainy day favorite. 

We have been getting ready to go back to school as the summer break starts to come to an end. I know it is about to get hectic as we head back to managing all the school activities, homework, and recreational sports and clubs on top of oh.. yeah life! So we had to make sure to get our Back to School Guide 2022 out this week for you! Check here to get all the links to school information and resources conveniently in once place that you can use all year long. 

This weekend I will be investigating with Louisiana Spirits at The Centerville Steamboat Inn. I am super excited for this one! The team has been there before and has information prepared from a previous visit that you can read all about here. We will make sure to release all the details of what happened at the investigation later this month! 

Now, on to our top recommendations for family fun this week:
