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