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