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