XXX Burger - Issaquah, WA

No trip to visit us is complete without eating at "XXX" Burger - it's a unique 50's style burger joint with the biggest burgers I've ever seen. From left to right: Katie, Gabby, Jakob, Audrey, Jenna, Laura & Bryan (my brother).

Jenna Ferguson & Audrey Struempler trying to open their mouths big enough for their burgers. And, yes, they are only eating half a burger - I'd like to see anyone eat a whole "XXX" burger and live to tell about it!

Bry & Di Ferguson trying to keep up with the kids!

Snoqualmie Falls with my brother's fam, the Fergusons

Wow - What a view!

Cousins: Jakob, Katie, Gabby, Jenna & Audrey - hiking down the trail to the river.

We all hiked down the trail & made it to the river at the bottom of the falls. The kids loved climbing all over the rocks.

Cousins: Katie Ferguson & Gabby Struempler enjoying the great view of the waterfall

Jake is excited about the falls - it felt great because you could feel the mist on you

FOOTBALL!

Jake is a mini Skyline Spartan (our High School team) - he decided to break away from soccer this fall & try football - practices start mid-August, 2 hours a day & 6 days a week until schools starts - boy, is he going to be wiped out, but I'm sure he'll have fun!

Yes, we know his hair is WAY too long - - - We got it cut yesterday morning, after a long battle of the wills and a little bribing (whatever works, right?)

The traditional "Sam Moon" shopping trip (Dallas)

More American Girl Fun

Audrey and her cousins watch their dolls get a new hairstyle in the American Girl salon.

Elizabeth's hair is done - - - she's all "dolled up" and ready to go.

The girls topped off their shopping trip by going to the Kit Kittredge movie.
