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