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