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