Celebration Saturday

James and Mack rode on the platform. Mack is wearing her Twombly Bears
t-shirt.

 Fort Lupton got it's start back in 1836 when Lancaster Lupton established a fort along the South Platte river which became a very busy hub for fur traders.  A lot would change over the next 177 years but every September the city comes together to celebrate it's begining with " Trapper Days". It's a big deal with lots of out of town visitors.  This year the Mx4 ( Plus Grams) walked in the Trapper Days parade with the Twombly Elementary PTSA.  The school's theme was " Superheros" so the girls of PTSA got to work, making no sew capes! We all had a lot of fun -even Mike who was coming off a 12 hour shift.

Lots of students rode on the platform truck!

Here we are in our capes. Mike wore his Twombly polo shirt although
I'm sure he would have worn the cape with no complaints.

My guy and me

And of course, we were home with plenty of time to ramp up
for the Michigan/Notre Dame game!
