Thanks to Mom & Dad Gus, the whole family was able to get-together over the 4th of July weekend at Reid Ranch near Fruitland, Utah. We all had a wonderful time together.
Our attempt at "being ranchy." Some of us looking a little better in jeans than others :).
The ranch offers a variety of activities, one of which is paddle boats on the lake. After waiting for another reunion to "clear the lake," we had a perfect paddle! My brother Jon even brought his remote control speed boat and had it zipping between all of our boats. The clouds moved in to take the edge off the heat and provide a perfect overcast for our workout on the lake!
One of the highlights was the horseback riding and pony rides for the kids. We all loved the horses we were assigned to except Matt who had the lucky experience of riding "White Knight." In his words, he would have rather been at work than on that horse! Kimi (the experienced rider) gave pointers on our equestrian adventure. Some of the trails kept us holding on tight but overall it was so fun!
Grandma Gus's dream of a picture of all of us in our yellow shirts (her favorite color) came to fruition 2 years after she gave us all the shirts! I think it is hard to get a perfect picture without a professional photographer and photoshop--but hey, look at the GUS FAMILY smiling at the fun time we had together, aking memories and enjoying every moment!! Thanks Mom & Dad!

Great pics you guys! You are so fast! We had such a great time and loved being all together. Thanks for providing so much energy and entertainment. It wouldn't be the same with out the Dimonds!
What great pictures. It is so nice that you were able to get the whole family together. Not an easy feat I'm sure.
My favorite is the one in the cowboy hats!
