We had a great time at this state park. We took a 1.6 mile walk and then went for a swim in the lake. Later that day we decided to try the Geo Cache
GPS's that we borrowed from the ranger. We got a coordinate that was .5 miles from our campsite so we headed out for our treasure hunt. The kids had a blast following the arrows until the arrows lead us right into the lake. That is when we realized that the cache was on the other side of the lake. This meant we had to walk all the way around the lake. We were determined to find the treasure so we walked and walked and walked until we found it. The kids were quite
disappointed that there was only a tracking paper and no treasure. We set out and looked for 3 other caches near the first one. We found 1 of the other 3 and were
disappointed that the treasure wasn't replaced in those finds either. We brought treasures (one bouncy ball with a smile face, and one WALL-E watch that we got for free when we attended the movie) and put them in the caches for the next treasure hunter. Even though we didn't get a treasure the boys had a great time looking for it. We also figured that we walked over 4 miles on our treasure hunt so it was really fun exercise. After the hunt we were hungry and tired. We had a big dinner and watched "Field of Dreams." What a great "feel good" movie. Today we woke up to a storm so we decided to head out and get a few
errands done. Then we headed to Mystic River Casino and Dakotah Meadows Campground in Shakopee, MN . We decided to go here because the casino hotel had a indoor pool. We also went to the lunch buffet which was yummy.
Thought of the Day: Sometimes you are just to tired to think!
