Christmas Eve Eve! It does not feel like it will be Christmas in two days. Today was pretty nice until 2 o'clock. We rode up the beach on our bikes until the sand was too soft. We threw the bikes into the truck and went to a trailhead to ride on. One trail went along a lagoon. Before we went back to the camper we went to a lighthouse. It was built in 1873. Fourteen years later they had to move it because the island was and is slowly washing away. Ten to fifteen feet every year. We all went up it, even Dad!  Audree and I went up a second time. When we got to the camper we went back to the beach. I built a big sand castle. We were on the beach until it started to rain. Audree and Mom made Butter Cookies tonight. They are the best cookies in the world. They are in the oven now.
