Hurry Up And Wait

The train is a bit late. Like about two hours worth. Not a big deal to me, as I am ON VACATION and don't have a time frame. But I feel really, really sorry for the enormous family (nine all together) sitting next to us with the scads of younger children. Who keep asking Mom and Dad if the train is ever going to be getting here. And then running around the Waiting Area.
Poor kids. I feel for them. There is only so much to occupy a young brain in Waiting Areas. Moving the assorted foods around in the Food Carousel Automat thingie can only be classified as "fun" for so long.
I feel even more sorry for the parents. Who so far have shown an extrordinary amount of patience. And who have yet to raise their voices to said children.
The rest of the passengers? Napping. Walking around. Reading. Charging up cell phones.
UPDATE: The train is in Elk River. Anticipated ETA is about another 30 minutes. Then time to unload many passengers. The conductor will let us know when we can board.........
