Importance Of Vacation With My Family

Decent Essays
I will be telling you of a time that I had a life death experience, when I went on vacation with my family last summer. Just right after my brothers got out of school, also after I and my dad got done with a job we had at the time. On Monday, just before we started to make reservations and planning our vacation we all had a talk to my little brother (Brandon) because he is very energetic and we had to make sure that he didn’t swim out to far, also the dangers of the ocean. Oh! I forgot to mention we were going to Panama City, Florida for a week. Also it was going to be the first time that my family and I go for an entire week. We have gone there before three days or so but never that for a whole week like we were just about to. Moving on, after …show more content…
So we did and found a spot where the sand was high enough to stand and it was pretty shallow there it went up to our knees, the waves there were very high, high enough to sink a ship. But we still stayed there not really caring about the wave’s height, then my brother had a great idea “let’s bring Kimberly” “my sister who can’t swim not even if she had a one of the noodles”. And as a very responsible older brother I said “yea we should she would have a lot of fun here”. So we swam back to go get her and since she couldn’t swim I held her up with one arm and swam with the other to get there and just you can have an image of how far it was from where you are reading this to the nearest Zaxby’s “pretty far. Will we got there and started to play with a beach, about an hour passed by then my brother stayed quit for a bit. I asked him three times but he didn’t answer so I walked to because again the water was knee deep there, but when I got there he said “it’s nothing just go back and serve the ball” so I did and then we got tired of playing with the beach ball, so we just want to see if we can recess the waves hitting us head on. But that didn’t last too long because as soon an I looked over to see my brother he was look down at the water and not responding again, then I saw it as it was swimming in the wave and my brother and sister screamed the almost the same time …show more content…
All I said just before passing out was “where were you when I need you” to the lifeguard. From there all I remember was waking up in the hospital bed and seeing my dad there on the chair, all he said was “you’re okay now”. Well to keep it short I left the hospital, and finally got some food for the first time the whole day. And yea I never got back in that water the whole time we were still there, but my brother did. Just around the shore though not willing to risk another shark appearing again. Having gone through all that the one week vacation was still fun overall and a experience I will never

    It was a hot summer, sunny day in Florida usually like most others but today was special. I was going deep-sea fishing for the very first time, my mom told me to put on a lot of sunscreens, so I don’t get sunburn. My family and I got dressed and got into the car and made our way for Pompano Beach pier, where the charter boat would be leaving from. We all packed into the boat like a can of sardens, the captain started the engine and we looked over at the glistening deep blue ocean, the seas where calm, when we arrived at the fishing spot the mates gave us fishing poles and told us to drop the baits in the water, a few seconds later the rod is bent over and the line is screeching like crazy, my parents and the captain start yelling at me to reel…

    After adjusting to the chill temperature of the water, I sat on some rocks and let the waves knock me around. On the other hand, the rest of my family had grown restless, wanting to brave the increasingly high waves. After treading water for a bit, my father decided it would be a great idea to swim to the buoy—really just a piece of wood—that was thirty feet away in the waves. My sister Sarah and I accepted the challenge…

    Growing up in Southern California we spent most of our summers at Lake Havasu and Parker. For as long as I can remember, getting to spend my summers on the lake with my close friends and family was what got me through the school year, knowing that for a full month I would have no cares in the world except for what adventures lay ahead of us. As the school year came to an end, all we could think about was getting to the lake to start our last summer together before we all ventured off in separate directions. Starting to pack and load up the RV was all I could think about for days, seeing as this was the last summer we would all spend together.…

    All I saw was people everywhere. We knew that he was not that far in front of us, so he couldn’t have gone too far.

While we were running there, my mom was asking security guards and workers if they had seen my brother and if we could still get on the plane to Hawaii. They just told us to get to the gates as soon as possible.…

    When we got there, I was immediately in love with the beach. Time seemed to stop, and all I could take in was the cold of the water around my ankles, and the exciting fact that I was actually there. It was so beautiful, and I don’t think I've ever seen something so BIG! The way the waves jumped and leaped over each other was amazing. We all ran to the shore and I slowly dipped my toe into the water, smiled at my mom, and leaped into the the blue waves.…
