Karissa and Kristy's Fishing Adventure
Bought a princess fishing pole in the Indiana Dunes
Which Karissa had yet to use...
Drove to the Illinois Valley with a plan
Stopped at the farm and saw the fam!
Headed to Lowell, River was closed
We went anyway, nobody knows!!
Nothing was biting, but Karissa caught a leaf!
She thought that was pretty funny, I do beleave...
From there we jumped in the car and headed to deer park
We went to the river area, got lost and almost ended up in the dark!
Don't get me wrong at first we did pretty great...
Walked a while, found the river and caught 8
Just kidding, it was only one
Those fish were too smart, but it was still fun!
They managed to eat the worm and stay away from the hook,
So we decided to try once more and that's all it took!
The fish caught the hook in the eye and I couldn't set it free
So I decided to take it with me!
We started walking and saw some stairs
Thought it was a short cut, but ended up a nightmare
Got lost in the woods for 3 hours with no clue what to do
Karissa was brave, but had her moments... I'm sure I did too!
At one point we went off path and tried to walk to the light
But kept getting poked by “pokeys” and it was too much of a fight
Kev and dad were looking for us
My mom was so worried, she put up a big fuss
She was 10 miles away from calling the State Police
And ditched her ride to the play we were supposed to go to with my neice
We saw lots of running deer
And Karissa tried her best to show no fear
We found a trail that was kinda actually marked
And were more confident that we would make it out by dark
Followed the orange poles and eventually came out
We were on the other side of the park, without a doubt!
Kev came and gave us a ride to the car
Made fun of our fish that was in the worm jar
He said, “Hey Krit, the friggin worm is bigger than the fish!”
and asked if it was worth it?
It was a good day and I have no regrets
Even though we got lost and I broke my camera, it was one of the best!
I LOVE spending time with family and friends,
and always will until the end!
