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