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