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