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