The year the circus stole the last day of Thanksgiving break.

Ahhh the last day of a five day Thanksgiving break! A day to sleep in and lounge in your pj's all day. Pumpkin pie for breakfast and leftovers for lunch. Time to get a jump start on Christmas decorating......OOOPPPS HALT NOPE not this year. This year we have to pack up 3 kids and drive TWO hours to have Thanksgiving with Chris's relatives. Couldn't they have done it another day where we didn't have to worry about school and work tomorrow morning you ask?? Well my in-laws have this weird affinity for Circus's. They will drive 100's of miles to see small town circus's just because. They did that this year for the whole break except today. Never mind they only live 8 miles from us and could have had Thanksgiving at their house. Never mind they only see their grand kids maybe 4 or 5 times a YEAR. Seriously I think they identify with the sideshows. If that isn't' it I wonder what the reason for the obsession with the Circus could be???
I will have to update later after my long day ahead. Not only do we have to drive 4 hours round trip but we have to spend 6+ hours sitting in a showplace home with nothing at all for kids to do and if they touch things there will be hell to pay. A fun day ahead!

Amelia will probably break a circus train teapot and be presented with a bill when she leaves!

So now the obsession is circuses, eh? Interesting. Maybe they just like to have rotating obsessions every few years? As I recall, it was trains, and then vintage baseball for awhile there. At least baseball didn't have creepy clowns...
