Memorial Day weekend, finally a GREAT weekend spent outside!

Well we ALL finally got the weather we wanted/needed and spent three days outside!  The weekend got off to an auspicious beginning with Michelle spending a solid 10 hours at work and coming home to run a personal half marathon (13.1 miles).  Who does that?  Yes my wife and the greatest Mom in the entire world, sorry to all Mom's but I may be a little bias, but seriously she is the best and everyone else is just fighting for second.  The next thing we tackled was putting in our garden.  We did not get it all done but Jackson tapped into his inner farmer from both sides of his family tree and really worked hard.  After some work on the Stokes' Family Ranch we went to spend a glorious evening with some new friends up on the Bay of Green Bay in Marinette, WI.  We had a great time playing in the sand, riding four wheelers and fishing.  The food was great too, thanks Tracy for cooking!  The last shot of Jackson is from soccer.  Jackson in no Pele but I think he could take Beckham.  As seen in the last photo Michelle tapped into her inner farmer too, nice tan. :)  All-in-all we had a great weekend and we hope you all did too.
