Pirates & Mermaids, Take a Look at Haunted Bookstore 2015 Courtney, the Pirate Queen! Howard Wu shows some lesser known skills as a pirate musician. A kidnapped Puritan, gone a little batty…aka Jill! The cutest little mermaid! Look at that tail! Aubrey with dad. Seaweed Dip anyone? Sarah and her dad James made a great Pirate/mermaid team! Allie and her dad Lowell were a huge hit making balloon creatures. Thanks! A little not-very-high stakes dice game going on. Pirates in action. The Three Buccaneers! Katie, Katrina and Joe. Thanks for the help! Mini as the pit boss. The potentially outlaw Phillips family, minus Mike Rowe. (I think he was off fixing something) Jelly fish craft, and a cute, big eyed pirate girl! Jackie helping some royalty make jellyfish. Party action. Jake is ready for a dice game. A crazy pirate lady reading, or maybe the wicked witch. Way easier to shop for books before the store gets dark and spooky! Pirates can’t live on gold alone, cookies are essential. Okay, this is my favorite part! The family costume prize winners – if there had been a contest! Mermaids Sarah and Aubrey with pirate mom Lindsey! Here’s a wide eyed listener! Hope those ghost stories were not too scary! Riley photobombed by a balloon sword, but cute anyway! Best part of the bookstore. Celica arrived just in time to help, thanks Celica! Walking the plank – easier for chicks than mermaids it turns out. Beware of sharks! The Pirate Hook Toss game. Yes, Howard sounded authentically piratical.
