Road Trip complete with 13 year olds

This past weekend I drove 3 13 year olds to a church camp in Saskatchewan and back again. The trip there was pretty good with the exception of the girl who would loudly proclaim "I'm bored" the second a conversation ended. the trip home was a different story...
I thought we were doing pretty good for time. We left the camp about 2 hours earlier than I had told the parents we would. There was a huge line of traffic right before the bridge to get to the highway. As we waited about 9 cops cars past us. We figured it was a really bad accident up ahead.
After about a half hour, a police officer directed us to drive on the shoulder to pass. As we approached the bridge we saw that protesters had blocked the road. Later I heard that other people had to wait more than an hour to get past.
My biggest mistake of the trip was letting the boys have two ice cappuccinos. Apparently 13 year olds who are barely 5 feet should not have that much caffeine. Being a teacher, I should have known better.
