All Good Things Must Come to an End (Kiawah day 6)

Saturday was really our last day on Kiawah Island since we would be leaving very early Sunday morning.  We packed it with as many of our favorite things as we could.  Some friends of ours, Scott and Kristie, who we met while John was in residency came into town so Scott could also go to the end of the conference.  John and Scott were planning to play golf at the Ocean Course that day. So we all decided to head out to the clubhouse early and have lunch on the porch together at The Ryder Cup Grill.  This is the same place as the Ocean Room where we had, had dinner earlier in the week and you just can not beat that view.  Plus the food is so delicious!  Scott and Kristie and their friend Dave that came along were such great company and we enjoyed spending time with them.
Then it was time for the boys to play golf.  The kids and I decided to spend our last day on the beach.  The kids built another sandcastle and did a lot of boogie boarding.  Then things got interesting.  While Sam was out deep jumping waves he saw something with a dorsal fin swimming not far from him at all.  He started running towards shore and screaming, 'SHARK'!  Well, I looked, and it was a beautiful dolphin jumping in the water not far from where he had been.  Then, while the three of us were out in the water I saw a jellyfish right in front of Ella.  I told her to swim because a jellyfish was right by her.  Sam, trying to help,  gave her a push and almost pushed her into the thing so I yelled and we all got a little freaked out.  We decided after that maybe we would just spend the rest of the evening at the pool.  We really did enjoy our last day though and are anxious for our next trip to the ocean.
