Join the gang at fun 'n' games in their brand new backyard - and then peek in on newlyweds Bill and Karen!

WOW-EE! The Cowsills (that's Barry waving "hello") are back again to share their private lives with you! Last month, 16 took you inside their new Santa Monica home. Now, join the Cowsill-clan at play in their very own backyard!

Tennis, anyone? Watch out, Dino Martin - Bob and Paul Cowsill, who are expert sportsmen, recently discovered tennis and practice practically every day on their backyard court!

In the basement of the Cowsills' new house - there's a big pool table. The whole family can be found playing pool at some time during the day! Here, Barry helps Paul with a "tricky" shot!

Would you believe an Olympic-size, heated swimming pool? It's Susie and Barry's favorite spot! The Cowsills invite their friends over for swimming parties on their weekends off from work!

"Hey, Johnny - come on in - the water's fine!"

"Yeah, Barry, I know - but it's more fun when I have my bathing suit on!"

Nothing like a quick snack after a dip in the pool - right, Susie? Except - as Paul will tell you - "You'll spoil your appetite, cos dinner will be ready in just a few minutes!"

Your tour still isn't completed! Newlyweds Bill and Karen have invited you to peek in on their little corner of the world. They have their very own guest house - right off the pool!

Karen has become quite a chef - even without her trusty cookbook! Tonight's menu includes a roast and home fried potatoes - but she's still working on desserts! (Hey, Bill, don't make a face! It isn't how it looks - why don't you taste it?).

As you can see, Bill and Karen's home is very intimate and cozy, with informal decor. Altogether, they have three rooms - a living room, a bedroom and a kitchenette!
