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