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