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