Natalie D: Field Trip Day, Camp Myrtlewood (Day 6)

yesterday was so much fun. I made a lot of nice memories. I sat on the bus with Bellasky and we reminisced Barbie songs and Barbie movies.

 

I think I was one of a couple who started the singalong bus this trip. Me and Bellasky started to sing riptide (cause everyone knows riptide…), we sang a bunch of other songs as well. “You belong with me”, “What makes you beautiful”, “When I’m gone” (cup song), and a good few others. The other side of the bus lowkey challenged us and sang songs too. It was a lot of fun. I shout-out Heidi for going crazy with me in our loudness singing these songs. sorry to those who really didn’t want singing on the bus…

 

Getting onto the beach and going into the big cave, Bellasky, Leon, Jane, and I sang “H2O Just Add Water”s siren song Cleo sings.

 

I don’t remember if I jumped in the water my first year, the second year I went full in. This year I was excited to go with friends. I asked Bellasky and she agreed and I found some others who wanted to go as well: Heidi, Cassie, Xena, Teresaida, Esme. We all went into the water together. Not all of us went fully in. Cassie and Heidi said they’d do it because I was culminating. It was very sweet. I felt very connected to everyone.

 

most of the rest of the trip me and Bellasky laid on towels in the hot sand and I ditched her towel and laid in the sand. we had a fun and genuine girlie pop conversation. I felt the sun beaming in my skin, the beach and the sand and the water and the sun makes me feel so good and so alive. I love the water and the beach. a classic Californian.

 

Lunch was fun too. I hadn’t changed out of my swimsuit or put my shoes back on. I attempted to walk to the grass to put my layers back on and my forgot my sock on the bus and I am rarely without shoes, so my feet hurt so bad. donovan offered to give me a piggyback ride. I accepted and he slayed. I got off early cause I felt bad, Cassie was carrying my things and I felt spoiled.

 

Bandon was fun, very short but fun. My favorite part was attempting to pass my boyfriend on the phone to people and nobody being able to hear him.

I showered in the gender neutral bathroom and chatted with so many people in the bathroom. Bellasky, (again!) Graham, Syd, Emmet and eventually Caitlin. We all just chatted away from our separate showers and had a nice time.

 

The rest of the night was lovely as well. We watched our friends short films, it was lovely. Got to sit with some goats: Aiden P, Bellasky and Sully.
