Sugar Cane Train - that had nothing to do with sugar canes

Today we went on the sugar cane train. we thought we would see sugar cain feilds, learn about sugar canes and see the fields they grow in and maybe get a sugar cane to taste....our expectations were a little too high.......

here is everyone waiting for the train to arrive
here it comes...........

all aboard

and were off..

quincy is very observant and always seems to have such a serious expression when he is checking things out. here he is looking out the window on the train

jackson, mollie and sophia checking out the awesome veiw of the road :/

daddy and jackson

quincy had to make a quick phone call

this was the neatest part. the train had to slow down, even slower than it was already going and went over this wooden bridge. as it was doing so it blew steam out of the engine

silly time for quincy

the train made a 20 min stop in lahaina, enough time for the kiddos to get a quick lunch. this is a hawaiin hotdog that was red, kids thought it was cool, i thought it looked gross

our 'tour guide' serenaded us with music

beautiful view from the train

so the only time sugar cain was mentioned was here - this is the OLD sugar cane feild......yep that was all the info on sugar canes............

here is quincy getting crabby, he wanted to know more about sugar canes too..

and the boys falling asleep, that is how exciting this train ride was....not so much

but i will say that even though the train ride was dissapointing and a lot of money - we are still in maui and having a blast!!!!! and in the end the kids still think its cool they got to ride on the train that we pass every time we drive into town.
