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