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