Summer 2011 Balmorhea State Park

 Going to Balmorhea State Park is one of our Favorite things to do!! 

For those of you that don't know about Balmorhea, it is a Texas State Park with a  3.5-million-gallon freshwater pool built around a natural spring. The spring has a constant flow of 22 to 28 million US gallons a day. The water temperature ranges from 72 to 76 °F year round and is up to 30 feet deep. But the best part is that you get to swim with FISH and TURTLES!!!
