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