Lake Pleasant


We are a very lucky bunch when we can get family time now that Kevin is back in school.  It is hard to take off even for an afternoon when there is always something to be studied.  This second year of dental school is a little less stressful for Kevin and that means not as much stress for me as well.

A few days ago we decided to take our chance while we had some time and go to a lake that is nearby,  Lake Pleasant.  It wasn't as hot as it has normally been, it was only in the high 90's that day, so it was a good time to go try this lake out.  I must say I'm a bit spoiled when it comes to lakes.  I practically grew up on Lake Powell and all the other lakes in southern Utah.  This one can't compare to those, but as for a good time to get wet and play in some mud, it did the trick!  We all had a lot of fun swimming and climbing around the rocks and there were a ton of rocks.



"Best friends" - their words! 
I love how close these two have gotten after our move to Arizona.

Mud pies anyone? 


We couldn't believe how much trash was left all around!  Izzy loved picking up the trash, we wanted to try and leave it a little better than we found it and she was all about that.  We had to tell her a few times to take a break and go play.  She was rewarded when she found this dime.




As we were leaving we saw these wild desert burros!  
It was so cool! 
I didn't even know there was such a thing.

Only high 90's? Sounds hot to me! We've started wearing pants and jackets in the mornings and evenings now.

Looks like lots of fun to be had in AZ!
