This weekend was pretty laid back. On Saturday, Kyle went to get a haircut at this place where it's all sports themed. While getting a haircut he watched a football game on this tv that sat between two chairs. He said it was a pretty cool place and liked it better than Great Clips! Nothing is better than his sister, Melanie, though. We got the oil changed in the Honda and went shopping at Walmart. After naps (I went grocery shopping at Fred Meyer while the kids were napping), it was still torrential downpour rain and we were stir crazy so we decided to go try out this burger place that Oprah's friend Gayle said had the best burgers in Seattle. It's called Red Mill Burgers and our friends Nick and Natalie tried it out a while ago, but we are just now trying it for ourselves. I had the verde burger with fire roasted verde peppers, jack cheese, Red Mill sauce and the fixings. Kyle had their bacon cheese burger and he liked it. Mine was okay. It wasn't my favorite and I am still totally satisfied with Red Robin. The kids ate McDonald's and Kate loved her burger. :) So overall, I wouldn't say it had the best burgers, but it was fun to try out and fun to eat somewhere new.
Then, we ventured into the Fremont neighborhood to find the famous Troll that sits under the Aurora bridge and to drive around- their are some interesting people there. When Kate saw the Troll she said, "scary!" But then her and I got out and she thought we were at the beach with all the sand that was there. She loved climbing up the hill and around the troll. I didn't have my camera so I took pictures on my cell phone and got this one from the internet.
Preston playing with his new birthday toy. Yes, he got it a bit early. :) I couldn't resist. Thanks Gma Dee Ann and Aunt Melanie!

That troll is scary. I have never heard about it. I did see the hamburger thing that Gayle liked and had thought about checking it out, but alas, the old mind totally forgot about it.
P.S. My blog is no longer private, I just moderated comments.
Oh, Link and I LOVE Red Mill. I am totally with Gayle on that one.
I also find the Troll a tad creepy! Next time your down so close, give us a call!
I love lazy days! And yes, that trool is pretty creepy.
Hoe fun to be over there so close to so many cool new things to out. I'm trying to dig some things like that for us to do in Othello - I'll let you know what I find. :) Ha!
If Preston already has his birthday present, does that mean I have to get him another one! j/k I hope he pounds and pounds on that little table and drives his dadddy crazy. I won't take too many times........ 3 maybe 4. ha I'm going to be sad that I can't go to his party. Don't do anything fun without me!!!
My kids would love climbing all over that troll. I can totally hear Kate saying 'scary'.
A nice burger sounds good for dinner right about now. Well, almost anything does if I don't have to cook it! Mondays are the busiest day around here and cooking dinner is always a rush. I'm off to do it....
so that music table is the best! we borrowed nicole's and kapria loves it. someday i'll have to get one of our own :) happy birthday (soon) preston!
