Florida Rileys

Alicia, Josh and I all made a 20-mile hike in one day, in the Blackwater St Forest, to finish Josh's Hiking merit badge!

Rachel and I celebrated her 17th  Bday with Chinese food

I recently visited our house in Vacaville (now rented out) to do some repairs.  I was a bit nostalgic, seeing our 7 handprints in a border there- ascending age order L to R

While in CA (Feb 15) , had a great hike with Dad along the middle fork of American River.  I'm the one without the beard.

Josh made his own sleeping bag, from scratch- glued the foam, sewed the nylon cover.  Now he's itching to try it out.  Maybe in June with the family reunion campout!

too cute not to share

Check out this picture from the Nevada Rileys, of their growing family.

Now a shot of the men:

And the women of the family.

Hello all!  We are busy into summer but are really wishing Keyan was here to enjoy the beautiful Colorado summer with us. Sam just finished a BRAT camp at the Air Force Academy.... it was basic recreation adventure training... He got to go rappelling, rock climbing, mountain biking, and whitewater rafting.  Great fun  and Becky got to go along on a couple days for free!  Ben just did baseball camp and is looking forward to going out to Jason and Lora's to
Work for a couple weeks.

McConkies looking good on the Web ...

I am slowly starting to add some pics of family into FamilySearch.  It's fun to see faces with the names in the pedigree charts.  I invite you all to check out our tree on FamilySearch- I started with Ilene and her family.  Thanks to Cory for digitizing these years ago.  Please send me more if you want them preserved and linked to our ancestors!  I think it helps us all to love them and recognize them by sight.  Send stories or newspaper clips etc, and I'll see about posting them as well.
