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