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