What a difference an hour makes - by the end of the drive, there is not much to amuse Marina. Although Lincoln is good whenever he can play an iPod.
Once we were at Grandma and Grandpa's, first order of business was to check out Lincoln Lake. Marina loves to play with water on the beach, and I only avoided being soaked by using my most serious 'mom' voice. I am sure in a few years, even that won't work. 
Here is Daddy hanging out at the lake with us. 
Later that day, the kids helped Aunt Kara wash her car. What says summer more than a car wash?
Marina is one cool chick - whatever she is doing!
We had a great weekend, although Ryan and I both had a touch of a stomach virus for part of it. Then, the kids were off to Maine for the summer. They were so excited, and once again proved to be great travelers. Marina made friends with the other kids on the plane (luckily they were seated right by us). Lincoln tore through some books we got him for the trip (Diary of a Wimpy Kid). The kids are having a great time in Maine and will be home in August. Once last photo though, Marina really really wants curly hair. So, we tried curlers again. She looked so cute in her curlers, lining up her stuffed friends! Unfortunately, her hair was not dry yet when she went to bed, and she could not sleep with curlers in. We still have not successfully achieved curly hair for her, but I will try again!
