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