Weekend timeline of good times...

Patrick's little sister came up to visit for the weekend. For her high school graduation present, we gave her a "use any time weekend getaway with the siblings" pass. She decided to cash in the pass before she started the spring semester of her freshman year. She goes to school at Tufts, in Boston, so we were a great "pit stop" before she went back to school.

Patrick, Kent and I all drove to the airport to get her and then went back to Morgantown for the night. We ate at Black Bear, went grocery shopping, hung out at Kent's place, watched the Flight of the Conchords TV show and laughed a lot.

Side note:
A Favorite moment: at Black Bear...
Ashley: (eating a burrito) I don't know how I'll be able to fit this monster in my mouth!
Kent: -cough, cough- that's what she said.
Oh. I lost it. There were several "that's what she said's" throughout the weekend and they were so perfect! It seems as though I set myself up for them without even knowing! (end side note)

On Saturday, we made a great breakfast together and hung out in Morgantown for a bit. Before heading to Indiana, we spent some time at Dorsey's Knob. It's a little park/rock that you can climb on and see a lot of Morgantown. It was fun and we got some cute-o pictures!

We got here(as in Indiana) on Saturday night and had dinner. We then proceeded to watch more Flight of the Conchords and played "Hot Dice" for about four hours. We had way too much fun! We woke up Sunday morning and went the farm. It was really fun to show Kate around. We decided the best way to see the farm was on the four wheelers. Kent took Kate and Patrick took me and off we went. It was a lot of fun and we were all freezing and bright red by the end!




After the farm tour, we headed back into Indiana for a late lunch before Kent had to leave. It was nice to hang out and spend some quality time together. After Kent left, Patrick, Kate and I watched The Departed (whoa. intense and interesting.) then played Scrabble before bedtime.

Monday was a showing-Kate-around day. We had lunch at one of my favorite little shops, stopped by Patrick's work and hung out at the coffeeshop for a while. We ordered pizza for dinner and then went back to the coffeeshop with Patrick (he had a meeting). When we got home, we talked about random things and tried to learn French and tried on a lot of clothes (except Patrick did not do that).

This morning, Kate and I left Indiana early so we could get some serious shopping time in before her flight took off. We stopped at Robinson and spent most of the time in Forever 21, trying on outfits and such. Then off to the airport and she was gone.

We all had such an awesome time together. What a blessing to love your siblings-in-law and have so much fun together. Patrick, Kent and Kate are a lot alike. Sometimes, it's weird how they think/act/speak the same, but I certainly appreciate their relationship. I'm so thankful to have a sister in Kate and love how we all "click". Did I mention that we had a ton of fun?
