The Plane! The Plane!


The picture above does no justice, both to the excitement of our now 7 year-old about a plane whose landing gear automatically folds up (among other things) and to the amount of pieces that went into constructing said plane. Our gift to Christopher for his 7th birthday was this Lego Technic cargo plane. Technic is awesome because it has some battery-operated features and in this case it includes the landing gear, working propellers/wing flaps/ailerons, and an opening cargo bay. You can imagine our boy's excitement! It is also the longest we've worked to put together a Lego structure. Chris and I worked on it together a little bit each day for a week. Then I stayed up late finishing it one night so that he could actually play with it. He is having a blast!
