The Big Snow!

We made our annual trip to upstate New York on Dec. 27 and were thrilled to find over a foot of snow recently fallen! Schaeffer and Marlena insisted on going out in it the first morning there, although I tried to tell them we weren't prepared with good snow clothes. Poor Schaeffer "got stuck" past his knees and had to be "rescued" by big sis!
We stayed in a vacant house owned by one of Jason's aunts and what a view out the back door! The house sits right on Sodus Bay and we never got tired of looking at the gorgeous water, especially when the snow was falling.
The next day we went to Fairhaven to visit the Burgess cousins. They found enough snow gear for our kids, and we didn't see them for several hours! Poor little Schaeffer, by the time he came in and started warming up, his feet hurt so badly he cried and cried!
The girls teamed up against the boys: Lindy, Abbie, and Marlena vs. Taylor, Jay, and Caleb. They built opposing snow forts and many snowballs were thrown back and forth.
Fun times for the Sipes kids! We were glad to get there when they had lots of snow because we never see anything quite like that down here in Kentucky.
