Fun with an old toy

I debated posting this because it was just a little bit of fun, not a major or even semi-major event.  But isn't that what life is really made up of?

My mom gave this helicopter launcher to Nathaniel for his 8th birthday, almost 4 years ago.  We brought it out again recently because Brigham had taken an interest in a smaller, manual version of the same kind of toy.  Not really a fan of being in charge of making a toy work, I remembered this toy.  It has three different size helicopters to launch and it only takes the simple push of a button to make it work.  Brigham loved it, and I was free to take pictures.


 I've never been so happy that we had vaulted ceilings.

 Jonathan had a lot of fun with it too.  We put it lower on the stairs because the orange one would always hit the ceiling.


 It was fun to look over the railing and see the helicopter coming up at you.

Jonathan would push the button and then hurry and run upstairs to catch the little helicopter.  They did this for hours.

So, not a major event but it was a fun night.  The launcher itself entertained Jonathan and Brigham for several days.  Good times!

  1. That looks like so much fun! I would probably have tons of spots in my ceiling from trying to make it hit it:) Also, way to go Nathaniel! That is awesome:)

  2. Wow! What a great toy. I'm glad the kids are having fun with it--only 4 years later.
