1st trip with Grandkids
I posted this story on a thread on the main forum. I ain't smart enough to paste it on a new thread so it might turn out a little different....
My wife and I gained custody of my two grandkids about 1 1/2 months ago. The same week a grandson from another son came for his summer visit. Now we have 2 four year olds and one 18 month old. Me and Mimi are having to learn how to do it all over again....well I am anyway.
Last Friday evening, I couldn't stand not being on the water any longer, so I volunteered to take the older two fishing and give Mimi a break. We made it to a pond on a state park near the house with some worms. I baited one pole and got it out. But, before I could get the second one out, the first cork disappeared. This happened repeatedly for the next 30 minuets or so, and they caught a couple of dozen itty bitty bream. But, you should have heard how big those fish were when we got home and told Mimi about it. I couldn't have stretch the truth any better.
There were a couple of fishermen there with a big dog. He was succesful in getting some attention from them. But, they returned to me saying they were "dirsty". Guess what?? Paca Don (that's 4 year old for Pop a Don) didn't bring anything to drink. The guys with the dog bailed me out thought. I only brought one chair too. When this was discovered, they both had to sit on my lap...on the same leg. Now I am trying to keep two hooks baited while balancing two kids on my leg. I was even succesful in retying a hook doing all of this. Then the girl needed to Pee Pee. Little girls always need to Pee Pee.
I got that handeled even though we couldn't use the port a potty because there were spiders in there. We got back to fishing when the boy decided it was his turn to pee. He didn't want to pee with the spiders either. So I told him to go by a tree. Well the next person that ain't afraid of spiders had better watch there step. He wet the door down pretty good.
I didn't have a quick fix when one needed to poo poo. So, we made a mad dash home and made it just in time. The fellows with the dog were very entertained.
Next time, Mimi is coming too. This stuff don't happen when she is around. I am sure it will be soon too. She wants the left over worms out of her fridge.
