Heritage Day, Plantersville, AL

In May, Captain Kidd and I had a booth at my hometown's Heritage Day. It was a very interesting and fun day where I told the story of my father and Captain Kidd while also promoting cancer awareness. The American Cancer Society gave me a ton of pamphlets on cancer awareness and a few t-shirts to give away.

The display of Captain Kidd's travels around the world.

My brother, Alex, helped with the display

Captain Kidd also checked out the other booths at the event.

Handmade candles made from soy and beeswax.

Homemade bags and quilts

Homemade organic soaps

Make your own hygiene bag for the homeless in Atlanta.

This was a great opportunity to get Captain Kidd's name and cause out to more people and I am very thankful for being able to do this! It's been difficult to keep up with Captain Kidd recently with classes, work, and other issues but his other trips will be added shortly! Captain Kidd traveled through the Blue Ridge Mountains this summer and recently came back from Africa. The second Captain Kidd is currently in Italy and will be heading to London soon to see the Olympics. 

Thank you everyone for the support I've had in this so far! It's been an amazing two years and I am still amazed at all of the places he has been. I can't wait to see where he will end up next!

The Captain Kidd Twins

Last night, a package came in the mail. It was the Capt. Kidd twins! My dad used to say when asked how he was "I'm doing great! If I was doing better, I'd be twins!" Well now he is! They look different from the original but I like them. I think they're cute. They remind me of the tree spirits from the Princess Mononoke movie. A great thing about having 2 Captain Kidds is that if one becomes lost or destroyed, there will always be another to take its place.

I miss the original Captain Kidd but these two will make great substitutions. They are ready to begin their travels around the world!

An Unfortunate Accident

While on his way to Israel last month, Captain Kidd was in an accident. A puppy dog found him and thought he was an irresistible dog toy and decided to play with Captain Kidd. The puppy plays hard with his toys and after the play fest Captain Kidd left in pieces.

But not all is lost! Captain Kidd will be returning to his adventures shortly!  new Captain Kidd is on his way to replace the old one! It seems the captain has followed the Dreaded Pirate Roberts footsteps in having successors keeping his name (Princess Bride reference). 

Captain Kidd will be on his trips again as soon as the new one arrives. Hopefully some time this month. Thank you for all the support for the project so far. We look forward to enjoying more adventures soon!
