The In-Laws

Trips to the in-laws are never as short as they are supposed to be. Today we were going there for a quick trip in and a quick trip out. Yep, get the laptop, get the van and we are off. Does it work like that? No. First there is the chit chat. Then there is the, wait the van has no gas (well we have to be thankful for that one since we have no money to put gas in the van till Friday, but we need to go places tomorrow). Then there is the, will you set the sprinkler system please. Well after it is all said and done. Two and a half hours! Yep, and not everyone was there. Only four of nine in-laws who live in Texas were there today. That's it. Less then half the normal crew and it still took forever to get in and out.

Normally I enjoy going to the in-laws. In fact I can't wait to make things with all the girls. And then there are rousing games to be played. However, quick trips just don't seem to happen.
