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