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