Isaiah's Field Trip

So today I got to Chaperone Isaiah's class trip to the Science Museum.  If this doesn't say we love our children I don't know what does.  We rode on the bus for about 1 1/2 hours up there went through the museum for an hour ate lunch watched an Omnimax presentation and rode the 1 1/2 back.  So most chaperones had 2 maybe 3.  I got 4 boys.  Overall they were pretty good, but if you know how loud my son is one of them was louder and more hyper than mine.  Plus they all wanted to go in different directions, almost lost one once(never fear he didn't get to far).  Overall they were pretty good though. 
On the way home we were riding in the back of the bus (which I am way to old to do, very bumpy ride) and of course they were wound up and they were playing around.  They were playing some kind of game where bombs exploded and they all died.  Well that gave me an idea, I bribed them with something they were going to get anyway which was rootbeer floats back at school.  I told them whoever played dead or was the quietest all the way back to school would get their rootbeer float.  Worked like a charm 20 minutes of silence.  The other chaperones joked with me as to why I didn't think of that in the beginning.
