We have lived in Provo, St. Louis, Travis AFB, Guam, England, Germany, Vacaville (CA), Austin (TX) and now we get to try out life in Florida. Never a dull moment at our crazy house...

Our cabin in the woods


Lyrad with his mom and 2 of his 6 brothers

We hiked up to a waterfall not far from the beginning of the Appalachian Trail


Isaac wanted to get his hair wet in the ice cold water.  (College kids are known for doing crazy, daring things, right?)
Josh climbed into the baby swing and got stuck.  Isaac rescued him.

 The week before Christmas, we drove 7 hours north to a small town in northern Georgia to stay in a cabin for 4 nights.  We had a great vacation with 9 other Rileys, relaxing, eating well, watching movies, playing Air Hockey, and visiting the Blue Ridge Mountains.
 Josh and Ben

 We rode the Christmas Train in the town of Blue Ridge, Georgia.  
 A snowman visited us on the train, we sang Christmas carols, drank cocoa, and saw Santa.


 Santa gave all the children a bell.  (Just like on the Polar Express!)
This must be made for us:  Three Sisters Fudge.  (Elyse is standing in for Rachel.  Rachel didn't want to ride the train so she was shopping with Grandma Shirley, Uncle Darren and Aunt Pat.)
