Michael and Lisa had all of us up to watch the Rose Bowl. We had enough appetizers to feed an army which kept our bellies full until pizza time. Tony set up a pool for the game and each family bought 20 squares on the board. It was a fun way to keep everyone interested in the game and I think one of the kids won each quarter. How is it that they went home with the money, but they used their parents money to buy the squares? The kids also had fun hiking up the avocado orchard, playing freeze tag, searching for frogs and playing the Wii in the theater room.

Charlie, Matt, Paul, Michael and TonyWe have been up to the house for pizza making before, but never for 22 people. We each rolled out our own dough, covered it with toppings and waited for Michael to cook it in the pizza oven. You can learn a lot about someone as you watch them make a pizza! Charlie kept getting yelled at for making his too thin, Tony couldn't follow directions and Juli created a work of art (almost too pretty to eat). It made for a lot of laughs. Funny that the kids did it right on the first try!
Let the pizza making begin!
Allison looks like she has done this before.No trip to Michael and Lisa's is complete without a game of "Monster". The dads all hide in places throughout the house and the kids search for them in the dark. The kids get scared to death and scream until they lose their voice, but they always come back for more. We even had a few dads taunting the kids through the intercom. Sometimes I think they enjoy it more.
