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