The Case of the Missing Mom

It was a Saturday afternoon and Kelsey and I were downstairs playing a game. When we went up stairs my mom was gone and my dad was outside and he didn’t know where she was either. We looked in her room and her coat and purse was still there. So we were wondering if she got kidnapped or if she went for a long walk somewhere to get some fresh air and we started to freak out!  So we went into the living room and found a note that said “Over the hills”. “Over the hills what”? said all of us. We were confused as to where she was and what happened to her. We went in the bathroom and saw another note that said “Green grass is great”. “What’s that suppose to mean” said Dad. “I dont know”? I said confused. We saw a paper showing under a pillow that said “Beachy clean”. “What the world” Kelsey said scratching her head confused. We went into the car and went to the beach thinking that she was there but she wasn’t. I was like “It said beachy clean and we are at a beach”. So we went to the park and looked in caves and looked everywhere.But when I was just about to turn around I felt someone tapping me on the shoulder. I turned around and the person who was tapping me was my moms friend.I was thinking to myself why is my moms friend here for but it finally rang a bell that maybe they were planning a surprise for us or something. My moms friend wanted to follow us to an open field in the park and there was no one in sight. We were waiting and I felt another person tapping me on my shoulder and I turned around and it was my mom!!! I was so happy to see her she explained that she was secretly planning a surprise picnic!!
