Spring Break 2014 - part I

A few weeks before spring break, I called to charter a train ride with the local railway society.  They only offer runs on Sunday so in order for us to go, I had to set up a special run.  We needed 38 people to make it financially possible or I would be on the hook for $200.  I put it up on facebook and boy did I get a response.  By the day before the ride we had 200 people coming.  Luckily only about 100 showed up so we weren't packed in like sardines!   We got there a little early and hung out with our friends and played on the train they have for kids to explore:


 Finally it was time to board the train.  Parker's best friend from school, Lily, came and he had to sit by her.

We were all excited to ride the train, especially Oliver since he was too little the last time we rode this train.


Time for a few selfies before the train pulls out:



The train ride was 90 minutes and while it certainly isn't an amusement ride, it was fun.  We waved to a lot of people, got to see Costco, Target, Ko Olina and best of all, the ocean!  The kids had a great time and it was so fun to hang out with our friends on the train!
