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