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