Q: I acquired a small ranchette on the Blanco River outside of Wimberley at the beginning of the year, and my family and I have been going out there almost every weekend since. It has a great swimming hole that my two boys, age twelve and nine, and their friends have really been enjoying. On the past two trips, however, we’ve come across snakes in the water. I don’t know if they’re water moccasins or a less ominous species, but they’ve rattled (no pun intended) me enough to forbid any swimming. Needless to say, everybody is bummed out. Am I being overly cautious or am I doing the right thing? It’s getting hot and we want to swim.Janet Williams, AustinA: Remember the haunting snake scene…The post The Texanist: Should I Let My Kids Splash Around in a Snake-Infested Swimming Hole? appeared first on Texas Monthly.
