“Girls we are going to go on a geo cache,” Hank told us.
“What’s that?” I asked.
“A geo cache is where we all have a GPS and we try and find a treasure,” Halie explained.
“I’ll go by land and you two can canoe there,” Hank said.
“Alright girls I’ll meet you there.”
“OK dad, see you there,” Halie said.
The GPS lead us into a marsh. The water was a weird brown color. It looked like an old beaver pond. There were a lot of sticks and marsh plants. It smelled really gross. Then the GPS told us we had to go on land. We had hit a grassy part that lead to land.
“I’ll jump out first Halie.”
“Ok!” She replied.
“Just run really fast over it so you don’t get your shoes wet,” Halie said.
“Yeah I will.”
