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