By Tracie Ysaguire, Publisher for Macaroni KID New Iberia July 19, 2024

This is the issue for the sports fanatics in your family!

First, we have the Paris Olympics starting next week, so to prepare for all the summer games, Get Pumped Up For the Games With These 17 Great Olympic Movies with your family! The Paris Summer Games will run from July 26, 2024, through August 11, 2024. These movies will make a great family night as you prepare for the games.

Next, do we have any New Orleans Saints fans in the house? Growing up in New Orleans, whether we had a bag on our heads or not, (anyone remember the aints) we were still proud to support our Saints. We have a great deal to share with you this week on tickets to a Saints game for the 2024 fall football season. Make sure to share this with the football fans you know! 

We are quickly wrapping up the summer and headed into the final stretch of July. And that means we are hard at work on our 2024 Back to School Guide and fall events. Our Back to School Guide will be released to our subscribers next week. Be sure to stay tuned for more details!

This weekend is National Ice Cream Day and we are ready to celebrate! Be sure to find out about discounts and deals for this weekend. There are a few in the Acadiana area, so get your scoop on with the kids!

If ice cream isn't your jam, or if you are looking for a healthier option to cool off with this summer, try the recipe for No Added Sugar In These Yummy 2-Ingredient Watermelon Pops. I am sure the kids will love it!

We also have a few at home fun ideas you can do with the kids to break the summer boredom blues. All you need is paper, tape, and scissors to participate in these head-to-head STEM challenges to have fun at home.

Now, on to our weekly recommendations for your family fun this week from New Iberia to Morgan City:
