Our first family trip to the beach!

Since Fall has finally arrived, well at least according to the calendar, certainly not by the Texas weather we are experiencing, we decided to head out to the beach!  Rory has been asking to go for a long time, so why not!

We are very luck here at Fort Hood to have BLORA, which is the Belton Lake Outdoor Recreation Area.  We get in for $2 and we had the beach and the water slides all to ourselves for about 2 hours! 

We arrived around 10:30, because it is still Texas and it was 95 degrees yesterday and these little Irish kiddos don't do well in the sun for too long!  We unpacked our shovels and pails, Rory got her goggles on, and we had our beach experience!

Rory kept saying for the rest of the day "This was the best family day ever!  Thank you Momma and Daddy!"  So precious!!
