80's Murder Mystery Party

Last week we were invited to a Murder Mystery party with some people in our neighborhood/ward.  When we got the invitation we found out it was an 80's theme.  I was supposed to be Molly Mingmold (Molly Ringwald) and Shane was to be Scabface (Scarface who I had never heard of before but he is a mobster character from the 80's.)  It just so happens that my sister still has her Pink prom dress from 1986 and it was PERFECT for the part.  I found a red wig and was set.  Shane's was a little harder but eventually we found a great white leisure suit, gold chain, gun, etc.  As part of his character he had to have a scab on his face.  So we found this scar makeup thing in a halloween store and when he put it on it looked so real it was kind of freaky.  Then about 20 mins after we got to the party, this guy comes up to Shane and asks if it's real...he didn't think it was but said he had to make sure cuz it looked so real he then couldn't remember if he had seen that on Shane before...lol.  You can see the scar over Shane's right eye in the pictures below.

The night was super fun, we were given different clues and things to reveal to people throughout the night and everyone came dressed up so great for all their characters.  We were attending the Debbie Gribson album release party when the 'murder' occurred.  It ended up that neither of us commited the murder although we were both accused of it and then it ended up that I did actually confess to murdering my childhood friend by smashing a rubik's cube into his head!  Gruesome...

Here are some pictures of the night:




Final Hike of 2010

Shane and I decided to do one final hike of the season yesterday.  It was such a nice day so we wanted to get out and enjoy it.  We decided to hike to Lake Solitude.  It starts at Silver Lake at Brighton and is appx. 3 miles long (round trip).  It was a really easy hike with just one steep hill to climb up at the end.  We took a little picnic and ate it on our way to the lake.  We had a great time getting out doors as we know this weather will not last much longer.  Here is a picture we took of Lake Solitude.
