So, Gram & Grandad came to visit! They arrived the day after Thanksgiving and left this morning (Monday). I will post more pictures in a little bit but I thought these should be first! Grandad, being a retired engineer, has always wanted to share his knowledge of helicopters with the boys. In the past, they would enjoy it, but this time Riley really got into it!
I believe they were talking about the main rotor and the stabilizer (see, even I picked up some of the terminology).

and the test begins... Riley had to tell Grandad all the parts
There was also conversations about the importance of each of the parts... I don't remember details!
Thanks Grandad! We've known for a long time that we had a little engineer... once again it has been confirmed!

This was a lot of fun, especially for me! Riley did an amazing job or remembering the proper names for the different parts of a toy helicopter. One afternoon, I pointed to each part and asked him to repeat the name of the part. We did this a couple of times, but this was not easy since there are lots of parts with unfamiliar names (like main rotor, tail rotor, tail boom, stabilizer, engine, cockpit, skid gear, pitch links,etc.). The next day, I was amazed when all I had to do was point to a part (that's what I was doing when the pictures were taken) and Riley could instantly name them! Wow, I was impressed! I did the same thing with Carter and he also did a good job. Maybe we'll have TWO engineers someday.
