I'll take a banana, shall I?

Now, just as a side note, I'm not sure if it is a New Zealand thing or a Graham thing but all statements are actually rhetorical questions. Some examples that are popular: "You will like this, won't you?", "You're beautiful, aren't you?" and the best of all "I'll take a banana, shall I?" Now, this isn't just for long trips. It could be anywhere...the grocery store, the zoo, a funeral...it's always the same: "I'll take a banana, shall I?" The catch is, that most times he never really eats the banana. One time he actually carried a banana from Chicago O'Hare to Austin...never ate it, just carried it.
So, all this to say that we packed up our banana this weekend and headed to the Dallas zoo. Here's the banana gearing up for the long ride:
Here are the two big kids at the entrance of the zoo

A rare sighting of the entire Scott family in one photo (thanks Nana!)
In the hotel room doing the bobsled!
We just drove up for one night and Lucy liked petting the bunnies the best. Christian liked the big fish the best (Botsch's, who does that remind you of?) and I just enjoyed the time with my family. Nana treated us to a great hotel and paid for our entrance into the zoo! All and all it was a highly successful trip.
Oh, and in case you are wondering, Graham took only one bite of the banana!

I don't know enough about Rugby to know how many people are required but I think I have the pretty good makings of my own team!
Nana has come for a visit and brought presents for everyone. So far we have treated her to many wonders of the US like McDonalds, Outlet malls and very large grocery stores!

Now that we have an official crawler in our house, we spend the majority of our time trying to prevent death. There is the constant scanning of the floor for small items, the near fall of the iron off the ironing board, and tonight...well, tonight there was a bit of a pen incident:
As I watch my 5 month old crawl around the house I can't help but to constantly wonder "Isn't it really early for this?" So much so that I spent a good portion of a day trying to decide if I was remembering his birthday correctly. So tonight I got out all of the kids baby books to see if it really is early for him to be doing this or if the other two started at the same time. While looking at the baby books I learned a few interesting facts. #1 Christian didn't start crawling until 9 months. #2 I stopped writing in Lucy's baby book after month 1, and #3 Wyatt doesn't even have a baby book.
