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