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