favorite.  Two very chilly children and a floppy eared pup are having the time of their lives.  On a camping trip, we were surprised with a bit of snow while out on a ride.  Not much snow ended up sticking, but for a few glorious moments my son got to run the hand cranked wiper.  Note my daughter in the back, warmly wrapped up in a sleeping bag.  If wondering whether you should get a Jeep, check out the grin on her face:</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id484.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Cold day closeup"><U><IMG SRC="7bb7d500.jpg" border=0 width="125" height="80" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0"

sleigh.  My son was just off camera, waving a biscuit to keep her attention, which explains her determined look:</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id486.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Reindeer"><U><IMG
