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