Lake Pleasant

On Labor Day this year, we wanted to get out and see more of what the Phoenix area had to offer.  We were all a little bitter about the heat still and wanted to find a place to cool off a bit.  

We had heard about a lake about 45 minutes away, so we packed some snacks and made our way to Lake Pleasant.  It was "pleasant" enough, but it was still super hot and we didn't last as long in the heat as we thought we would.  There wasn't much of a beach.....just mud, but we spent a few hours there swimming and taking in the new scene.  




Benny wasn't loving it, as you can see.  





Once he got a floaty from a neighboring group, he perked up a bit.  
There was an old  couple camped out next to us that kept us company.  They were pretty funny, actually.  Super friendly and super white trash, but it made for some interesting and entertaining conversations.  



Graham wanted to go exploring, so we walked to the top of the hill and then over to some big boulders that he could climb on.  



I love this last picture.  I love that crazy kid!
