Easter Train

Today we went on the Alaska Railroad Easter Train from Anchorage to Willow, it was less than six hours long, which is the perfect amount for kids, but they get to experience a real train ride and all that goes along with it. They kids got to color, make crafts, meet the Easter bunny, get candy, see a magician and lots of other stuff.

Here is a picture of Luke after winning the coloring contest for 1-4 year olds, he was happy that he won, but upset that he didn't win the grand prize--a AK Railroad train set, he won an AK Railroad stuffed bear which he gave to Aubrey, who absolutely loved it.

These pictures (above and below) are of Luke and Aubrey with the magician that came through the cars. Luke volunteered to 'hold' the bunnies, but the bunnies kept multiplying. The finale came when Aubrey was to 'hold' the bunnies and it came out to be a BIG bunny which squeaked. She thought it was so funny that it squeaked. Luke loved the magician and thought he was a delight.

At first, Luke was hiding under our table and wouldn't come out to see the Easter bunny, but I coaxed him out long enough to get a picture, then when it gave him candy, he was cool with it. Aubrey was intrigued by it and wanted to see it, but when it got closer, she became shy, but after I gave the Easter bunny high fives, the kids relaxed and gave it high fives too.
