Early Christmas in Las Vegas

Earlier this month the Wichers' packed up and headed down to Las Vegas to visit Chad's parents. We had a great trip exploring the many great exhibits Vegas had to offer. Finley had a great time exploring the Secret garden, Shark Reef, the Red Rocks Visitor Center and many great Christmas light shows with Grandpa and Grandma Elliott. Here are some photos from the trip!

Halloween

We had a fun Halloween this year. Finley got to help dad carve her first pumpkin, she got to trick-or-treat downtown Edmonds, and she also got to go to her cousin's Halloween fair at their elementary school. Enjoy the photos!

Pumpkin patch

This past weekend we joined a few friends of ours on a trip to the Carleton Pumpkin Farm up near Everett, WA. Finley and her friends Django and Morgan had a great time wading through the pumpkin fields looking for the perfect pumpkin. They also got to ride a tractor pulled train, go on a hay ride, and even have some good ol' pumpkin ice cream. It was a beautiful day and everyone had a great time. Here are some photos!
