Lupo Family Reunion

This past weekend, the Lupo's gathered in honor of my mom's birthday as well as many other reasons.

One reason also being the fact that we have not all been in the same place at the same time since Cailyn's christening in 2008. Since then, we have added two more to the tribe.

We had a good weekend in Berkley Springs, West Virginia where the only public restroom is at the Sheetz and the GPS has no idea where you want to go.
We rented a big house and had a lot of quality time, hiking, playing at playgrounds and even eating Fakes-giving.

Grandma and Grandpa had a good time with the kids.

doing arts and crafts

building castles

learning dominoes

and giving snuggles

It was a fun weekend for every reindeer.

Murder Under the Big Top

For the past few years I have been hearing AWESOME stories about Katie Mac's infamous annual Murder Mystery Parties and always lived too far away to play. Then last year, when I did live here, she had a wedding instead of a Murder. This year... received my invite with my directions for my character.. "The Lion." 

It was a very fun evening.

We had, Mrs. Hargrove: the wife of the rich circus owner who suspects her husband of having an affair with an acrobat.

Katie Mac as the wonderful Ringmaster!

Ruby the clown and Kristin the sword swallower.





As the night went on, we were called into the Big Top for an announcement. The announcement of the death of the acrobat. At that time, the suspicions started to fly. Paul and I were animals in the circus, that meant we were not allowed to talk to people. This was a great role for me being my first MMP, as I could just observe and learn how things go.

 

It was a super fun night with super fun people! I'm sure Katie is already planning next year's party and I can't wait.
