Kicking it- with the Flickinger's: First FRIDAY Family FUN day in Carlisle, PA~

A day at Laurel Lake~ with a side of Frys!

Just looking at these pictures makes me HOT! It was definitely a good day to take a dip or DUNK into Laurel Lake at Pine Grove Furnace State Park for this week's Family Fun Friday!

Thanks You Kelli for inviting us to create memories and IGNORE the heat for a few hours~~ the lake was so refreshing as was your company! Happy to say we did get some sun but NO sun burn!

On our way home from the Lake we decided to swing into downtown Carlisle for the History Themed First Friday in JULY! I was exhausted but knew it would be fun for the whole family... 'Mama Lu' knows best~ because there was No way we would have made it back in time for ALL the fun and interesting "History" themed activites we had the chance to partake in as we walked around adorable Carlisle!

I was surprised at how much Adrien ENJOYED learning about the Civil War history of Carlisle as he and Master Flick went on walking tour around town. We also had the chance to create some art at the CALC where Adrien was interviewed by, "The Sentinel" newpaper and had his picture taken!

Of course Carlisle is known for the CAR SHOWS so, Adrien LOVED seeing some cool cars around town while also seeing the classic fire engines! I LOVED checking out all of the little cafes, boutiques, and restuarants around town but by the time we were done a lot of them were closed or closing up~ Next time, we will do an early dinner downtown for SURE!

We decided to go the the independent and faithful "George's PIZZA." The walls are LINED with family and local photos from the years gone by, & the KIDS thought it was so cool to chose songs from a real WURLITZER juke box...Sugar Sugar for Fiona and the Coca cola Kid for Adrien--- I couldn't resist dancing in the Aisle with Fiona & Adrien while our pizza cooled down! Justin was chowing down on the mild "SPICY" hot wings he ordered...YUM~
