Every year the Holley family gets together for our annual Labor Day vacation. This year just happened to be my year to do the planning, so Seth and I decided we'd camp at Potter's Ponds up by Joe's Valley Reservoir. Everyone was able to make it this year although some (Corinne's family) didn't get to stay as long as we would have liked. It was a bit chilly and rainy that weekend and those Arizona natives just can't handle anything below 70 degrees. I think everyone still had a good time though despite the weather and I think the kids especially had fun fishing. Four year old Lily caught 2 or 3 fish all on her own and two year old Ella caught one! Everyone was very impressed with the girls and their karate moves as well.
Seth and I went fishing one afternoon when everyone else decided to take a nap and I got a chance to test out the new fly rod Seth got me for my birthday. I actually didn't do too bad (only got the line stuck in a tree a couple times) and actually caught my first trout on a fly! It was just a little 6 or 7 inch brown but it was the most excited I've ever been about catching a fish.
I'm really glad everyone was able to make it and we all look forward to the family vacation next year!

I can't believe you went to Joe's Valley!!! My family has been going there for our annual 24th of July reunion with all of my Grandma's side for almost 20 years!! Nobody ever knows where Joe's Valley is!! I caught my very first fish at Potter's! It looks like you guys had a good time!
Your nieces are adorable. Soren would have a crush on the both of them.
Also, excellent music tracks on the blog. I'm listening to your blog for my entertainment at work today.
The 2-yr-old catching a fish, and the girls' karate moves, sound SO CUTE! And Seth's such a stud, right? I'm curious to find out if you ever matched the excitement of catching your first trout on a fly...
