The Adams Zoo: More Fishing Tales

Since we had such a great time fishing with the girls the last time, we decided to do it again. The girls had colds during the week and by Sunday they were still a little whiny and testy. Mistake number one. It was also Labor Day weekend. Mistake number two and we only had a couple hours to fish. Mistake number three. We tried out a new location and it wasn't as good of a spot as the last time. The fish weren't biting and so the girls got bored real quickly. One of my biggest fears is that the girls are going to catch their hooks on somethingor somebody. That's one of the reasons we cast for them. Piper managed to get her line tangled up and while trying fix it, Riley starts playing with her pole. After being told to be careful and wait just a minute till I got Piper situated, I felt something snag my shirt. I look down to see a big, dirty,slimy,creepy crawling,very much alive worm attached to my shirt. I hate hate worms. At this point I'm trying to stay calm and call to Ben I need his help. He tells me to hang on while he casts in another spot. By this point I'm so over the fishing trip. Thank goodness for undergarment with padding otherwise it could have been alot worse. Ben finally managed to unhook me. A little disappointed because it was a new shirt and one of my favorite undergarments. Oh well! Least it just did damage to my clothes and not me. Riley was told to sit while we packed up. Piper no matter what always feels the need to sit with Riley. She tossed her pole aside and claim " I don't like to fish!" Lessons we learned that weekend. Never rush anything, strollers are not meant to go off roading no matter what my husband says and never leave worms in the frig but that is a whole other story!
