Desperate to fish with a dry fly...Take 2!

Extra! Extra! Read all about it! With the Snake River remaining muddy and swift from the snow run off so late in the season, catching these fish with a dry fly was a great success! Jim took us to River Notellum for a great day of fishing! We had a drive more than we got to fish, but it was worth every second of it!

Happy 4th of July!

We began the day with breakfast at Bubba's, a Jackson tradition for us. Then, it was off to Jack Dennis to see the town parade. Ben's wife Sam joined us for the day. Next, we were off to Jenny Lake to stroll around. With two amateur streamer throwers, the ride was much more about the views and the Margaritas! Finally, we returned to town to see an amazing fireworks display over Snow King Mountain. Riley had a perfect 1st Fourth of July!

Desperate to fish with a dry fly...Take 1 !

On June 30th, we took a desperate attempt to fish in the park on a dry fly. It was our first time walking in somewhere with Riley and she was a champ! We fished a channel between String Lake and Jenny Lake. The fishing was sparse, although Jim did catch a nice one, but the views were amazing. We give the spot 5 stars for "Most Beautiful Place to Fish"!

June 29th- Our First Family Hike!

Jim had the day off, so... although we still can't fish on the Snake River, the weather was perfect for a hike! We went to Hidden Falls and up to Inspiration Point near Jenny Lake. The views were gorgeous and well worth the trek with our Little Riley, who enjoyed the ride!

Riley gets to meet the Jackson Hole Gang!

Riley's first trip to Teton National Park!

Our Road Trip Out West!

We had an eight day journey out west this year with wonderful visits with family and friends! We spent three days in Texas where Riley was finally able to meet the rest of the Reetz gang. Thanks to Aunt Red and Uncle Vinny, she also experienced her first trip to Six Flags while we were there. Then it was 3 great days in CO with Grandma and Grandpa. Riley enjoyed the mountain views and (like the rest of the family) found her favorite spot on Grandma and Grandpa's deck. Finally, a night in Steamboat to visit Rob, Kenda, and the kids. We had amazing meals and happy hours at each stop along the way. Thank you so much to all of you that hosted us along our journey. You made it incredible!
