Sanker Family Vacation

A lot of things have happened over the last few weeks. Emma and Annie finished up their school year and are ready for summer. They both had great report cards. After 5 long years I have decided to leave my job at shop rite. I have had my share of issues with my fellow coworkers and really feel like it is time to move on. I am technically not unemployed until Saturday when my second vacation is over. I'm scared. I need a job.
Schools out for summer and we have already taken a week of vacation down the shore. This was not a smooth vacation. Actually it was pretty bad. The week started with Emma getting burned in 5 places on her back. One of parents worst nightmares. Taking your children to the boardwalk to go on rides and your child gets burned by pieces of metal that fall off the bumper cars. How awful and scary. We filled out an accident report and at least Emma and Annie got free tickets. I don't believe we will ever ride the bumper cars again. The following day we went to the beach......briefly. Ellie's first beach experience was ruined because I pulled a serious muscle in my neck within 10 minutes on the beach and had to pack up and go to the emergency room. Fun in the sun. After two days of ice and ibuprofen I was back on my feet and headed out to only find that my van had a flat tire. Well the tire was plugged at a local repair place and the Sankers were ready for a fantastic beach day now that vacation was almost over. The day was hot and the girls went ahead of dad on the walk to the beach. When we arrived at the waters edge we were greeted with swarms of greenheads. Let me just say that Emma is terrified of greenhead flys. Not the I blame her. Needless to say Emma,Annie,Ellie(in carrier) and I ran as fast as we could back to the car leaving a trail of beach gear for dad. We made it back to the car and inside with about 6 flies to kill. We were scared and sad for daddy who rounded the corner covered with flies. It was a bloody scene. We went back to Somers Point and filled up the kiddie pools in the back yard that Emma and Annie are to big for.
There was some fun to be had on this vacation and we had it during the beach blast. The soccer tournament was awesome. We all had fun and the girls really did great playing with the boys. I would definitely let the girls do this again. The last day of vacation was really nice too. We finally had a great beach and boardwalk day. Now we are back home safe and sound and that is really the only important thing.
