I am good at preparing lists, and the in-laws have requested that we join them for Thanksgiving this year.  So I have decided to prepare a list of reasons why traveling to North Dakota may not be a good idea this year...
1.  My in-law has an attack dog, as we witnessed after Kelsey's birthday party, when her face was bitten.   
2.  I have a large dog, Teddy, that loves other animals, but the attack dog yips and nips at Teddy whenever they are in close proximity.
3.  My in-law does not have enough room for my family to stay and my brother-in-laws, her home is a split entry with three bedrooms.  So we would probably need to stay at a hotel.
4.  It could be costly to stay at a hotel for two-three nights.  And... 
5.  We are going to be spending several days with my in-laws over Christmas on a vacation getaway, so it would be nice to be home for Thanksgiving.
6.  There is very little to do in North Dakota.
7.  After the last visit with my in-law, I learned that Bath and Body makes a scented lotion that smells just like yeast infection medication, a lotion which she seems to love and lathers on quite frequently.  
8.  The last time I stayed at my in-laws I got bed-bug bites up and down my back, yuck!!

These are pretty astonishing reasons - yeast infection medicicine smelling lotion and BED BUGS! I am not sure you should go at Christmas either. You should definitely get a hotel, Colleen, because then you can always say at 7pm, "well, we have to get the kids to bed.

This is why I have not been back since the last time, to Shane's dismay!
