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