Fun with Maps
If you get tired of being asked “how much farther is it?,” try giving your child their own map.

If your child is old enough, you can ask them challenging questions like “what’s that mountain range over there?” or “how many miles is it to Round Lake?”
Mardi Gras is a fantastically fun celebration that is great for people of all ages. It is a great opportunity to learn about the culture of Louisiana and the south, as well as enjoy some of the great traditions of Mardi Gras. Throwing your own party is fairly simple, and your friends and family are sure to have a wonderful time.
