Porpoises or sharks???

Porpoises or sharks???
            
“Beat you down to the water”I shouted out to Jackie and Harrison as I sprinted along the water.
“Oh no you don’t” Jackie shouted back.
“I’m coming down too”I heard Mackenzie shout. I dived into the water and turned around to see them wind down the sand covering their eyes from the sand.


“It’s freezing” screamed Harrison, shivering.
“Come on get in” I said splashing Jackie and Harrison.Mackenzie was almost at the .
“When a wave comes dive at it” Harrison says.We do this for a while when I hear somebody shout something.
“What?” I said trying to get the sea water out of my ears.
“Look, over there, Dolphins!” Mackenzie pointed out.
“They’re porpoises, see the yellow line?” Harrison shouted.
“How far will they come in?” Mackenzie asked worried .
“Don’t worry they won’t come too close” I said hoping I’m right. We watch them for a while then we lost track of them.
“Aghhh where have they gone” Jackie screamed frantically looking around her. After what seemed like forever I spotted them.
“Over there when a wave comes up you will see them” I told them.
“Holy cow look at them, the golden stripe across their back is so cool!” Harrison said in between waves.  We watched them glide through the water their long noses so pointy. The dolphins come back and forth each time we lost sight of them.
“Look they are putting on a show” I said pointing out to sea.  
“Wow they are doing back and front flips” pointed out Mackenzie.
“Oh yeah they are” said Harrison and Jackie in unison.
“I’m going back now it freezing!”
“Ok we’re staying here” Jackie and I told them. After a minute Harrison came running the hill.
“We have to go now” He shouted as it was hard to hear between the waves.
“Do we have to???” I asked putting on a lazy face.
“Yes mum and dad want to go home and have a shower” Harrison answered.
“Oh ok” I said getting up. We started walking up the sandy hill, Jackie and I constantly looking back and forth at the dolphins restaining to run back down.
“How are we supposed to eat with these?” I said looking down at my hands covered with sand.
“Go and  wash them off over there see that tap” Dad pointed to the tap. I walked over to the tap and washed my hands, I looked out to sea and saw that the dolphins had vanished
“They must have gone because we left” I laughed to myself. We all had a wonderful day that day and we all will never forget it.
