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