Today our family celebrates fathers day, yes we are a week off, but its one of the few days EVERY family member has off work and can come together. Our parents had us and our older sister when they were young, so our parents have always been our role models and friends. Today we celebrated by watching 'Little Bud's' last soccer game of the season and tonight an amazing feast.
Today we were also going through some old boxes of "junk" that a family friend was going to sell at an up coming garage sale, we found some amazing treasures! One of those treasures was a very old and very rusty sextant. We have been spending so much time restoring it back to its shiny old self. Most weekends we go to antique stores and see what little trinkets we find. Our favorite things to collect are old books (our favorite being an extremely old copy of Peter Pan) and little treasures like old scales and what not. Seeing the Sextant in the box made us almost cry with excitement. They are so beautiful and to learn how to use one, would be a tick off the bucket list! 
Most days we have off work and study, we find ourselves fiddling with things we find and wondering how things work. All we can say is, life gets that little bit more interesting when you try and figure something out!
Thank you John Campbell for inventing the Sextant!
