We left on Friday afternoon. The five hour drive was a little tricky for Benson since he no longer takes long naps in his car seat, and would much rather be out walking and exploring the world. Matt is the best dad - he sat in the back for most of the trip entertaining and calming the little man - they make a great team.
We got to stay with the Tidwell's at their beautiful new home in Meridian. Never a dull moment at that home! Saturday we exhausted ourselves boating at Black Canyon Reservoir, a picinic lunch near the dock and playing in the sand on the beachy shore. Grandma and Grandpa Jenkins joined us that evening to watch the BYU football game and for carne asada tacos at the Tidwells.
We went to church with the Tidwells on Sunday, had a wonderful dinner at David and Summer's that night, and a delicious breakfast with Grandma and Grandpa at their home in Nampa Monday morning (after the guys played a round of golf). We even met one last time in Boise at Anne Morrison Park for lunch and to let the kiddos run around together. Benson LOVED playing with cousins and it is fun to see the gap closing between Bennett, Benson and Macy as they mature. It was difficult to say goodbye. The only thing that could have possibly made the weekend any better would have been having Missy, Mom and Dad with us!
