bonfire

Yesterday was a pretty cool day. I watched the Incredibles for the first time, and loved it. I did homework and chilled. At 3:00, we picked up my friend and drove to Huntington Beach. It took us like an hour because I did not know what part of the beach the bonfire was at. (The bonfire was for our church's "association" but pretty much the camp people) But, we got there eventually.

My parents dropped us off and we found a group who we were gonna "join" for the afternoon/night. We went down to the water, I got my legs wet but I didn't go in. Then I talked to one of my friends for a while. I said hi to everyone. I saw someone that I REALLY wanted to talk to, but then we had to do like a devotion thing and sing, so we had to sit down. He was across the "circle" from me so I couldn't exactly go talk to him. Then, I got distracted playing volleyball, and watching the sunset. Before I knew it, it was dark and couldn't see anyone, so I didn't get a chance to talk to him.

But yeah, we cooked hot dogs and stuff. Then we made smores. I saw some people that I really wanted to so I was stoked! My friend had told me about an hour before the bonfire that he was bringing someone special but wouldn't tell me who. It turned out to be someone from Riverside who was supposed to be gone for 3 months (including right now). He is the one who keeps me on track with my "smiling" goal. So I was really happy to see him.

Some of those people just make me SO happy! They don't even have to do anything, just being around them makes me so excited and happy! It seriously felt like I was in a huge family there! At like 7:30, my friends who we joined had to leave, so I was kinda nervous coz I didn't really feel like finding someone else to hang out with. So I just stood by the fire pit with the camp marshall and his family. Then another guy, who I saw at camp, but never actually officially met, came and we talked for a while. Then some other people joined us. It was pretty fun! But yeah, standing by the fire made me pretty warm, then when I said goodbye to people, who were "lacking clothing" and standing no where near the fire, they were like, woah you are warm! It was pretty funny. So yeah, I had an amazing time and saw some amazing people! :]
