Trip to Brunswick 09

Posted in Family Stuff, Family Trip, Georgia Noldens | July 21st, 2009
We got to spend the 4th of July with Frank’s family in Brunswick, GA, this year. It was a lot of fun.

We only had 5 kids, which was weird. Cody was at BYU and Liz was still in Vegas visiting friends.

Above: We went to a beach on St. Simons Island on July 3rd. It was great. Then we went again on the 4th of July. BIG mistake. There was NOwhere to park and we had to hike down the beach with all of our gear for quite a ways. But…we still had fun.

I don’t know who the person on the far left is…but after that it goes PJ, Mikayla, Megan, Donovan and Ashley.

Above: We hauled all of our boogie boards down to the beach…then we realized that we were the only ones on the beach with boogie boards. If you notice…there are no waves big enough to justify a boogie board! I guess it’s a West Coast thing?? You could walk out a LONG way and it would only go up to your waist (knees most of the time).

Above: So, later that night we decided not to go back to St. Simons Island for the fireworks show. We were told that it could take 4 hours to get off the island afterward. Instead we opted to do our own little fireworks show in front of Grandma and Grandpa Nolden’s house.

That’s Shayne and Grandpa Nolden on the porch before the fireworks. The fuzziness of the photo is because of the intense humidity in the air. We had just taken the camera outside into and it hadn’t adjusted yet.

Above: The camera was still fuzzy from humidity when we caught Grandma Nolden and Uncle Mark watching the fireworks show. I’m thinking Uncle Mark isn’t liking the show ;-) .

Above: PJ, Megan and Mikayla were actively involved in lighting off the fireworks.

Above: PJ, Megan, Uncle Mark & Mikayla. It was TOTALLY dark right before the flash went off…so no one knew that Uncle Mark was “lurking” in the shadows :-) .
