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