Our family has never watched the Amazing Race, but this year about half way through the season we ran across the show and quickly found a favorite team. Cord and Jet are awesome! These two guys are full of great qualities. After an episode we'll talk about how they've interacted during the specific episode and how we can apply those characteristics into our lives. Some of these qualities: They are not afraid of HARD WORK, a positive attitudes, the ability to find humor during a trial, cooperation, faith in what they can do even if they've never done anything like it, clean language, team work--just to name a few we've talked about. We hope to raise our boys with similar characteristics and are thankful for good examples.

Glad to hear there are still some good heros out there. I used to LOVE the Amazing Race -- in fact, I sent in an audition tape once because I want to be on that show! It's the only way I'd ever force myself to do some crazy things, but I didn't get picked, and I haven't seen it in ages.
Glad to hear you're on the band wagon! You know we have been long time watchers and I WILL be on that show someday. Maybe I will have to team up with Candi since Dustin is not so sure about being my partner. :) Go cowboys...get that million!!!
We use to watch 7th Heaven as a family and then talk about the episode. There are some good things we can get and learn from watching tv. I'm glad you were able to turn the show into a learning show.
I have never seen that show...dont' know what it is about...but I think it is great that there are some good role models out there!
Seriously....cowboys are some of the dang hardest workers I have ever seen. I am talking REAL cowboys...the kind that don't always wear boots and wranglers! I think all the time they spend out on the range alone gives them a chance to think....
