Riley Reunion 2008

It's that time of year again. The Riley Family reunion. This year I didn't take many pictures of the family they really haven't changed that much since last year so find that if you want to see what the group looks like.
We went for a walk down to the canel that runs next to the park. It took us to the river and it looks like the park district here came up with a great idea. They have built a foot bridge over the rock river between the two cities. It uses the old hydro dam as part of it. It nice and take you into a footpath area in Sterling by the historic Dillon home. Wonder how long before its gang land.
