@jgiannosa welcome to the forum
read the downloadable manual from DJI for your drone
take things slowly to start off with when you first get airborne
register your drone with the FAA and get the trust certificate
its also advisable to obtain some third party insurance cover in the event you do cause some damage to property or injury to another person
i am sure there are other forum members who will be able to give you more US specific info for such insurance
above all enjoy your new hobby and the time spent with your son

Welcome!

Check out the free deep dive video for the Air 2s on Drone Courses - Pilot Institute
There are other good videos there as well, but this is a good way to get familiar with all the features.

(I should add that I have no connection to the Pilot Institute other than being hooked on their videos)

I just realized you said you ordered a "Mavic 2s". Do you mean a Mavic 2, or a DJI Air 2S?

Welcome to the forum from the dry lakeless hills of Lake City FL. An irony... I know. If lakes grew here as much as your knowledge will, Lake City would become an ocean.

Welcome again!
