The Six Flags Montage
Like I posted below, we had a blast at Six Flags this week. I don't think there were any rides left by the end of the day. If the kids were tall enough, we rode it.
Julie and I were impressed at how willing they both were to experience new rides. Thanks to Grammy and Papa for watching our little one so that the older kids could enjoy their day riding next to mom and dad.
Abby Conquers the BIG roller coaster
Yesterday we spent the whole day at Six Flags. We were willing to endure the 100 degree heat if it meant less crowds to deal with. We had a blast and rode every ride that the kids were able to handle.
The big surprise from the day was Abby's bravery. From the minute we pulled into the parking lot she had her eyes on the Judge Roy Scream roller coaster. We started off slow by doing the kiddie mine train, the mini mine train and then the real mine train. She handled those like a pro, so we moved up to the big leagues with the Judge Roy Scream.
Here's my 5 year old Abby at 50 MPH on this very rickety wooden roller coaster. WARNING: This video is a bit shaky ... did I mention that the roller coaster is old, wooden and rickety.

Another tooth goes down
Abby surprised us when she came in with a another hole in her mouth. The first time she lost a tooth it hid in her toothbrush and then accidentally fell down the drain.
This time she was putting on her pajamas and somehow her nightgown brushed by the tooth and pulled it out. Much like tooth #1 which required a search and rescue mission, this tooth fell into her dresser drawer with all her jewelry and girly accessories. 10 minutes later all her necklaces, bracelets and headbands were on the floor. But it was worth it. We found the missing tooth and thankfully the tooth fairy made another visit and did a cash-for-tooth deal in the middle of the night.

Interview with Dave Ramsey
This week I spent an afternoon in Nashville interviewing Dave Ramsey. If you've ever seen him on TV or heard him on the radio ... he's no different in person. Very funny, engaging, personable and a straight shooter.
His interview will be featured in a DVD series we are creating called Marriage: Built to Last. We've already shot 20 incredible stories of couples sharing candidly about their marriage. Dave's story along with Kurt Warner and Josh Hamilton are the high profile interviews that will be a part of the series.
In 2 weeks we film Chip Ingram to provide the Biblical teaching on each of the six sessions. I am really excited about it.

Minivan Dance Club
When the music is pumping and the camera is rolling, the minivan magically transforms into a dance club.

Not to be outdone
Grant has some pretty big shoes to fill when it comes to memorization. His big sister has had worldwide acclaim in her role in the "Little Girl and Psalm 23" video (over 6 millions views).
Our church had a backyard Bible club and memorized 1 John 4:10 for the week. Grant seemed to pick it up pretty quick. I managed to record this a few weeks after the club and was happy that it was still rolling around in his head.
For those who don't speak 3-year old ... it's not Antonio sacrifices ... it's atoning.
By the way, this video is brought to you thanks to my wonderful birthday/father's day present - the Flip UltraHD video camera.

We love our family!
Last night we took advantage of having lots of family in town with a Watkins gathering at my parents' home.
Sweet AnnaLou!
"Kids and their kids" - We missed everyone who couldn't be there!
Grant told Meg that Romania was calling - they had been playing with the globe.
Grant bravely jumps to Daddy.
Abby bravely swims alone. If you click on the picture you can see Grant was not excited about swimming when this picture was taken.
