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