It is a regular Jiiffy pizza crust (in hindsight, it probably would have been better with some kind of graham cracker crust) topped with marshmallow creme for the "sauce". Then we topped it with crushed graham crackers, pieces of Hershey's milk chocolate bars and mini-marshmallows. After we pulled it out of the oven we topped it with some chocolate syrup. Can you say "diabetic coma"? But it was pretty great. Props to Mom for her great ideas! The other pizzas were incredible! They were all uniquely made and tasted fantastic! It was great to see families working together to have fun. Thanks to the Thomas family for hosting such a wonderful get together. Here are some pics from the event...
They learned about wiring, batteries, screws, nut, bolts, axles and motors. And Dad got to brush up on his skills, too. Once it was finished, it was time to hit the switch..........nothing! Not to panic. We went to the wiring first and figgled with it. We hit the switch again......and their "frankenstein" came to life! The kids were amazed as their little tin-can robot (yet to have a name, but the favorites are "R7" and "Seven Up") glided across the living room floor. They were amazed at what the robot could do, but we were more amazed at what they could do. They accomplished it! Now I think their plans are to build C3PO. Good luck with that!
Dad said he remembered his parents having card night and they would always play nickel bourre. He said he had fond memories of the excitement of card night because there was always a lot of energy in the house--a lot of raucous laughter! GiGi, in an effort to recapture that fun, decided to have a bourre afternoon. 
We played for a good few hours, and what do you know, we recaptured the fun. We laughed and laughed. 
Everyone, even those who weren't playing, kept us laughing. 
We look forward to the next bourre afternoon at GiGi's. If for nothing else, laughter should be in the cards!
and how to use a microscope to see small particles. 
But the attraction that kept calling for their attention was the Star Wars Lego exhibit. 
There they re-enacted all of their favorite Star Wars moments. It seems like all nine kids in attendance were fanatics. Our final stop was in the planetarium for the Star Show. Inside, the kids got to see the summer nighttime sky. They learned about meteors, asterisms and constellations. For the dads, it was hard to stay awake in there. We're kind of like parakeets--if you turn off the lights, we'll eventually fall asleep. Dad enjoyed his nap.
While Dad fired up the pit, the kids spent some time in the sprinkler. Nice to do on a triple-digit temperatured day! 
Before supper, we had a little ceremony in front of the flag to honor our nation's birthday. We prayed that God would continue to bless and protect our nation. We next showed honor to our nation by saying the pledge and singing our national anthem. We were proud of the kids for being so participatory.
It looked incredible and tasted even better. Kudos to them for their hard work!
