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