The kids went mildly mental and the big man handled it as only a trained Jolly old elf can. The volume level was rather high which rattled the teachers and chaperones quickly. I will say that the kids were very well behaved for a mob. As always happens with a new place, everyone suddenly had bladder issues and needed to relieve themselves, because who wouldn't want to go to the bathroom on a train? Uh, me, but I don't count. After the train ride, the kids travel to an Applebee's for lunch. That place didn't know what firestorm was about to hit. The kids were fairly well behaved, although some did not have enough sense to realize that making a condiment slurpee in their cup and daring someone to drink it, in front of a teacher, might get them in a bit of trouble. The management did not have their ducks in a row and presented the teachers with a stack of 80ish individual checks, which then turned into one check but not the agreed price, which turned into the agreed price but no tax exempt, which turned into 50 minutes later and all of us leaving without resolution. The manager showed up at school 10 minutes later with a hangdog expression and the newest bill.
I am now at home with a clenched jaw and janked up head,but the kids had a good time. Applebee's will never be the same.
