When I was a kid, my cousin and I would pretend to be marines on a secret mission somewhere deep in the jungle. Our whole house was our play ground, and my dad's binocular was our favorite gadget (aside from the toy guns, that is). We used it every chance we had, we even used it to spy on our neighbors, haha. Nowadays, my brother and our other cousins are the ones pretending to be marines, but I still grab the binoculars every chance I get, this time to look at the stars and enjoy the night sky (it barely happens because we live in the city and the stars are too hard to see from here because of the bright lights every where).
