The Brief

Before monsoon storms rolled in , hundreds of people celebrated Labor Day with a final summer splash at Lake Pleasant, with many taking advantage of the day off work and school to enjoy the sun and water.

What they're saying:

"It's a lot of fun. This is the place to be," said a lake-goer named Andrew.

Attendees spent the day enjoying a variety of activities, from four-hour boat rides to paddleboarding and swimming.

"We took the boat out, took a little tour, and did some swimming in the middle of the lake," said Tamika, who hoped for cooler weather in the coming weeks.

Even with temperatures well over 100 degrees, many said the day was perfect.

"It was hot, but it was awesome," said Stacey, another lake visitor. "When it got to the breeze, it was amazing."
