The Hanoi Water Park

Before time went too far I wanted to post about the water park adventure. Bryce took the kids and I stayed home with the babe (chilling out and watching movies). It turns out the water park was closed for the season. Luckily, the attached amusement park was open and fully functional. There were only a few people scattered about in the huge park so Titus and Maggie went on rides galore. The children's play equipment here often reminds us of something we might see on a movie set and the amusement park rides didn't disappoint. They were clunky and rusty, in desperate need of a cheerful paint job, and set in a suspiciously quiet park. Bryce was pretty sure it was totally safe.
Titus and Maggie on the roller coaster for the fifth or sixth time. Maggie was actually about two centimeters too short but the attendant gamely waved her on. I love the hair flying back.
Bumper cars was popular with everyone. Check out Maggie at the wheel. Bryce endearingly said she already has the look of a girl at the wheel.
A real live dragon rising from the bushes!
Titus and Maggie looking out from the ferris wheel. It was a huge ferris wheel and Maggie told me it was so boring that she forgot to look out of the window at the top. I guess the classic romantic magic of it was lost on her.

Go Maggie! She will have driving skills like a girl and there is nothing wrong with that, very clever fruit creations. I hope you guys are enjoying almost every minute of this (you don;t have to enjoy the spider moments) We were so darn excited to get a foreign post card from some of our favorite people!
