4th of July Monument Parade

The Gilmans hosted Lynn and Jamie at a parade-side picnic table via Trails End Taproom; great spot! Thank you, Gilmans! The crowd was estimated at 10-15,000 people, and we believe it. We'd never seen such traffic in little ol' Monument. Perfect Americana small-town Independence Day parade. All the photos are here.

Trains...

Planes...

And automobiles!
Gotta have the Shriners in the little cars!

Fina is working at the Colorado Renaissance Festival!

A local successful robotics team.

Hey, we know the one on the right!

Had never seen/heard an Honor Bell before.

Guess who we "met"?
Heidi's running for Governor.

Our picnic table provider was in the
parade. And we sat at a picnic table
just like the one on the trailer!
