The Kiawah Island Dig!


On the 4th we took our boat out with the Finks. We had a great time tubing and skiing, and then we anchored at a beach on Kiawah. It is part of the island that is hard to get to except by boat, and although there were many boats there, it did not seem too crowded. Part of our day we spent walking down the beach (I think that is where the back of my knees got sunburned!) looking for shells and sand dollars. We found lots of shells, a dead horseshoe crab, and a half buried crab.




This was exciting for the kids to dig up! They were very careful with the digging and did not break any of the legs off-too bad the dog who ran off with it later did not have such manners! (Nathan does not know about the dog, but has forgotten about the crab thankfully!)

But the most amazing find was by Camden! He actually found a whole, intact dinosaur! And it is still green! He was extra happy with his find!
