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