yes a helicopter gets a post of its own

Because of the time involved with this toy, the boys got to open this christmas present early so they could get to work on it right away. For all of you who are familiar with remote control helicopters and are total nerds like my husband, its a T-REX 500!!! For all of you who are not familiar with helicopters, its pretty much the best helicopter you can get. If not properly put together or flown, it could seriously injure or kill someone (no joke). Its a big deal. You should have seen how excited all the Brower boys got. They had all died and gone to heaven (especially Kev). It took them a good 3 or 4 days to build it. Because of the seriousness of this toy, they also got a little helicopter and a flight simulator for practice. Like I said, this is a big deal. Me and Shalane lost many hours of husband time during this christmas break because of this machine. As of now, I don't think we either really like it. But it was fun to see all the boys working together on a project.
look how happy they are!
this was test flight number one! notice all the protection gear Daniel is wearing...
Kevin nerding out
look at the love in his eyes

don't worry this is just the baby helicopter that was used for practice. they would never let me touch the T-rex let alone fly it

They have yet to still fly it; they have only been able to hover it. Hopefully when everyone comes back out in the summer, they will have it up and running.
