I’ll go anywhere with you!

Lizzie pulled on her snow pants, jacket, and boots. She clipped on Bear’s red leash, then picked him up and tucked him inside her jacket with his head poking out. “I’ll carry you for a little while.”

Bear snuggled down cozily.

This is nice! More nap time for me.

By the time Lizzie got her snowshoes fastened, the rest of her family had taken off down the trail on their skis. “Be careful,” Mom called as she skied out of view, towing the Bean behind her. Careful of what? Lizzie thought. The storm was over, the sun was bright, and the only sound was the cheeping of the adorable little chickadees that flittered around the Harris sisters’ bird feeder.

Lizzie tromped across the yard on her snowshoes, feeling the warm weight of Bear nestled inside her jacket. It was fun to be off on an adventure of her own. She decided to try a different trail from the day before, just to see where it led. Cordelia had promised that she couldn’t get lost, since all the trails eventually circled back to the house.

The snow was light and fluffy, and when a little breeze shook it off the trees, it looked like diamond dust sparkling all around. Lizzie took a deep breath of the fresh, cold air. She liked it up here in Vermont.

When she got to the main trail, Lizzie turned right instead of following her family’s ski tracks to the left, the way she and Dad had gone the day before. “Let’s explore, Bear.” She unzipped her jacket and carefully lowered Bear to the snow. She held tightly on to his leash.

Lizzie trudged along quietly for a while and Bear romped beside her. He seemed totally at home in the snow. Once in a while he would duck his head and lick up a few flakes, or stick his nose into a soft snowbank and sniff hard, then jump back with a big sneeze, or fall onto his back and roll around happily, his pink tongue lolling out as he grinned up at Lizzie.
