On Saturday morning, way too early, Kevin dropped Arthur and I off at the San Antonio Airport for our flight to Idaho.  The two of us were coming a week earlier than Kevin and Derek, and Arthur is a fabulous travel buddy.  When we first came into the airport, we were shocked at the massive line.  At first I thought it was for Southwest, but then I realized that it was for TSA.  We got our bags checked in quickly, and since I have TSA Precheck, we walked right past the insane long line, and were through security in ten minutes.  Thank goodness.

Arthur loves flying, and is content to just look out the window the whole time.  Although his exhaustion hit him eventually and he fell asleep.  Our second flight wasn't full and so Arthur and I had a row to ourselves, which was fabulous.

My dear friend, Terrie, picked us up from the airport and took us to lunch at Chick-fil-A.  It was so good to see her and talk with her.

We went to her house, where we stayed for the night, and Arthur was in heaven.  First, he got to play with her two dogs – which he loved!  But then, he got to cuddle with her cat.  I did have to douse him with Benadryl, but he thought it was totally worth it – especially since he finally found a cat that wanted to be held and cuddled.

Later in the afternoon, we went to the Boise Temple for Arthur to do baptisms.  He was so excited to add another temple to the list, and he was one temple closer to reaching his goal.

We went back to the Bolander's house for dinner, and then we drove to the Meridian Temple.  Poor Arthur was so tired, that he fell asleep in the car there.

The Meridian Temple was amazing!!  And gigantic!

While Arthur went with Terrie and Addison to do baptisms, I went and did inniatories.  The temple was so big that I kept getting lost.  It was so beautiful though, and I was so glad that I got to see more of it.  One of the temple workers showed me around, which was so cool.  And then when we were done, Arthur and I took a walk around the grounds to check them out, and it was so pretty.

On our way back to Terrie's, she took us to ice cream at her favorite place, and they had huckleberry ice cream – so good!

The next morning, we had to get up early to drive to Twin Falls, and so I got ready, and then I let the cat into the room we were staying, so that he would wake Arthur up.  It was perfect, because he totally cuddled up with Arthur, making all his dreams come true.  It was the cutest thing, even if it meant he had to take more Benadryl.

Once we were both ready, Terrie drove the two of us halfway to Twin Falls, where we met up with my sister, Holly, and she took us the rest of the way to Twin.  It was such a great day with Terrie in Boise, and especially because Arthur was able to go to two more temples.  So awesome!
