Exploring the Mekong Delta - with 13 month olds
Today we had a pretty epic day. Not only was it daddy's 32nd birthday, but the twins got to explore the Mekong Delta, via speedboat. Old Adam and Marissa would have taken a 5 hour bus ride deep into the Delta, followed by a home stay. But now that we have children, we decided we needed to be slightly less adventurous, just slightly though. We opted instead for a one day trip with a well-reviewed boat operator, Les Rives.The day started early -- we also realized upon waking up that we only had two diapers left and twin B had diarrhea (yikes). I texted a mom that we met in our compound and she gave me a few diapers to take on the trip (note to self - don't let the diapers run low). We packed a bunch of snacks, hats, sunscreen, change of clothes, and alas, diapers.The boat had 11 people total on it and was a nice speedboat. They had lifejackets, but for adults only, so we held the twins in our arms and hoped that the propeller didn't hit any of the crazy debris that was in the water.
We returned back home around 5PM. Our girls were allstars. They had smiles on their faces the entire time. They got some quick shut-eye while we were on the boat, in our arms, but other than that, they were troopers. We were so proud of them!
