Claire Voyant Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Loved your report. So great to see kids out! Hope Lily enjoyed herself....I'm sure she made the day for the ladies at the Moonbeam Clubhouse. Did she sign the guestbook too? Did she inspect the L141 trail far enough to see the antennas? (Installed by Johns Hopkins University for studying the Northern Lights....but we told our grand-nephew that the antennas actually generated the lights. LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake G Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 A priceless weekend. Great combination of photography and prose, as usual. Lily's starting to take over. How long until she'll be wanting her own Polaris?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIRE242 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Glenn great report as usual. Should have been there but there's always next season. Looks like Carter and Lily had a great time. Noticed Carter was driving the 800 to keep up with the big boys up in the Nord. Have a great summer. Will be in touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techdenis007 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 It was great meeting you & Lily .... what a sweetie she is ! Great fun watching the 2 girls play together .... incredible how 2 kids that don't speak the same language can have fun all the same .... SJ & apeXman were as amazed as us ! Carter & his dad are pretty cool too, he's a pretty sharp kid, very pleasant & respectful, able to have fun with adults and kids alike. Special in this day and age ! Too bad we couldn't ride together, almost did, but I don't think we could keep up on Sunday. Glad you all made it home safe and had a good trip To be continued next year !!!

Nice pics! If your daughter does that she'll be WAYYY ahead of my buddy. Several years ago we stopped for lunch in D'ville, the menu was completely in French as was the blackboard w/ additions. I glanced @ the menu & set it back on the table. My buddy looked like someone had run over his dog (he wasn't going to be able to order lunch). He asked me what I was having I pointed & said a cheeseburger & onion rings. I also told him the special was a ham & cheese sandwich w/ fries. He asked me how I knew that? I said that the special board listed "jambon et fromage avec frites" & laughed. He was puzzled since I didn 't speak French, I just shrugged.
