So getting up at 6pm to labor out in the hot sun from 7-2 is not my idea of \u00a0a fun Saturday — but since Kay was in her first marching band event of her high school career (and we had to get up and drive her down to the high school anyway), Margie and I “chaperoned” — which, essentially, means acted as road crew for the band (with another half dozen parent).The Littleton Western Welcome Week Parade is apparently a Big Thing, based on the number of participants —\u00a0it actually ran\u00a0for almost an hour and a half, and stretched on Littleton Blvd from Gallup all the way down to Santa Fe and Arapahoe Community College. \u00a0They supposedly get like 8,000 people watching, and, having walked it now (pulling a big wagon full of water coolers and bottles), I can believe it.<\/p>\n
