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