Opana

To end our incredible day we went on an epic walk after dinner. The boys wanted to run with me bare feet and half naked. Doesn't matter, they are still fast!

Racing.

Benny pooped out and got a ride.

Kids still running and walking.

Poor big dog Benny! No, poor dad for pushing him! He is heavy!

Now really poor dad! That is a load and it was up hill! It took us a while to get back to the truck.

We finally made it to lahaina to ride the sugar cane train. Wynter and Pi were going to go so we decided to join but ip was sick so they didn't go. We still went since it is the last week they are running and had told the boys that we were going. The 6 mile train is shutting down sadly after 45 years! Haven't heard why it is shutting down but my guess is Due to money. There usually is no one riding the train, you can have a car to yourself! Not this week, it was slammed packed! I had to wait in line for almost an hour to get tickets and luckily was at the front of the line or we would of not made it on the train at that time. I haven't seen that many people in maui wanting to do one specific event! Was crazy and a great reminder of how much I love it here away from crowds! Glad we waited and rode it. Was very fun for the kids and very relaxing. We will miss the train!

Yay we made it!

Yay!

All aboard!

Cho cho.

One happy boy.

Woah!

The train stops at another station and riders get off or on before heading back to lahaina. The engine turns around to the front of the train. We got to be in back for the ride out and in front on the way back.

Steam engine spraying water!

We stopped to fill her up. They let you off to watch but we went to the front of our cart and got to see.

Incredible view from the train.

Mr. giraffe.

Edwards all aboard.

Pallet

The boys keep coming into our room at night so I decided to make them pallets on the floor in our closet. That night I let them sleep on them from the beginning of the night. Little beds for little people. They can't sleep like that forever :)

Pro fisher

We had an adventure filled day, stopping at the kihei pond to kill some time before heading to the sugar cane train. The boys wanted to fish and feed the ducks. Thanks to the kuau store for giving us some bread, Dylan caught 3 fish in no time!

Little fishers.

Realing it in.

Nice catch.

Caught another one!

And another one.

Fishing away.

Bike gang

Funday Sunday at the bike park. The boys were so excited to go back to the pump track. Dylan talked about it for days after we came last time.

Hudson wanting to ride daddy's bike.

Hudson tried to carry baby Pi and they tumbled.

On a date in the woods.

Love bugs.

Mounted and ready.

Picnic time.

Bike gang.

Hudson was so tired he hitched a ride with dad on the way back.

Some tired souls. This was a little different looking from on trek to the pump track.

Jumping twin falls

I tried to take more videos of them jumping off at twin falls but my phone ran out of storage since my computer is out of commission right now! I did manage to get some! Brave boys!

Assessing.
