December 31, 2001 Sierra's New VW Beetle Electric Ride-on toy

	Grandpa - what is this?
	Starting to make some sense to her once we got the steering wheel installed.
	Grunt.  Grunt.  Two and a half hours of assembly required (and a Masters degree).  Grandpa loves this stuff - same as solving a jigsaw puzzle for entertainment!
	Michelle had a lot of fun with the decorating once Sierra's VW was built.  Sierra is starting to like this new toy.
	Michelle, Sierra and Doug.  Time for a test ride.
	Sierra figured out the door right away.  We taught her how the throttle pedal on the floor makes the wheel turn.  What she did was walk into the Beetle and without sitting down in the seat or putting both hands on the steering wheel, she steps on the throttle.  She really scared herself good when it took off from under her!  Now Michelle is teaching her to sit in it and hold the wheel before touching the throttle.
	One minute later the scare is over and she is doing ballet in the culdesac.  (Note Grandpa Doug's shiny red Porsche in the background.  New "looking" only.  Just turned 406,000 miles.  Doug bought it new in 1972!  Check the license plate.)
	She is a dancin' lady!  (Where is the Bee Gee's disco music?)
