Ok, can someone please tell me what I need to do to make the photo show in the post, rather than the link to it? Billie & I thought we had formatted it right on photobucket last night so it would show in this post, but between our 2 brains, apparently somethin's still missing! :D We thought this was the best picture we had on my camera of the Crewe. We're looking forward to seeing others! :D

The Crewe of the Archangel - Family Sunday Event at the Milwaukee At Museum

3359883830_2c1210bb69.jpg

To the Crewe Members who showed up at the Milwaukee Art Museum (MAM) - A HUGE Thank you to all of you.

Sylvia Peine, the Event Coordinator of Children’s Events was very happy and extremely please regarding our turn out and our interaction with the visiting children.

Everyone one jumped in and did what they do best! Billie and Gwen entertained the children with ‘the French Poodle’, Matty Bottles charmed the kids by making art project with them then led them on the great treasure hunt!

Merchant Mary made sure that our crewe grew in numbers yesterday as she helped signed up as many children as we could and made them “legal Pyrates”. Diver Jamie and Shipmate Diane played and interacted with the children with questions and coins.

Even Bess made sure that the kids were welcomed with big smiles and even helped take pictures of the various families with the Archangel Crewe.

You all should be very proud of yourselves. You worked hard and played hard. I have not heard the numbers for this event yet, but Sylvia did mention this was the biggest March Family Sunday event that they have had in quite some time.

My cap is off to you all!

Yes - it was an exceptionally awesome time.

"The time was when ships passing one another at sea backed their topsails and had a 'gam,' and on parting fired guns; but those good old days have gone. People have hardly time nowadays to speak even on the broad ocean, where news is news, and as for a salute of guns, they cannot afford the powder. There are no poetry-enshrined freighters on the sea now; it is a prosy life when we have no time to bid one another good morning."

- Capt. Joshua Slocum

Mr. Bottles reading the clues? Damnation Matt, did not know ye could read!

Ah yes, makes sense now

Now THAT'S what I was tryin' to do!!! And that's the same picture too! Did we manage to hold that pose thru the camera changes, or is it from mine?

Great overview w/the pics! But you should see the ones we took AFTER the event out at the shore... Billie kept asking passers-by whether they'd seen his boat... but alas, we had to return home by land.

Thanks for the pictures

Congrats Archangel Crew....a bit of Rum is in order, right Captain?
