  • So, as I mentioned, I took way too many photos in Copenhagen. I was just having so much fun clicking away everywhere we went (see below). Copenhagen was friendly and walkable and beautiful and photogenic. So Here are a bunch of photos of the beautiful buildings that we saw. 

  • I’m getting way behind on posting my pictures of our trip to Copenhagen but today is Halloween so I must post some scary photos. Tonight we’re going to the town of a friend – they claim there is a good amount of trick or treating to be done. I hope so. I’m surprisingly sad every…

  • A big part of the reason we went to Denmark was to visit The Lego House. The girls watched a documentary about it on Netflix and we had to go. It ended up being a winner – so fun for the girls and really interesting too.  One of my favorite parts was the big model…

  • We are big fans of the Great British Baking Off here. We’ve also started watching a show called Extra Slice – it’s a funny recap of the Great British Baking Off episodes. They have comedians on and they play funny clips. It teeters on the edge of annoying but one part gives me a guaranteed…

  • We are having a great Fall here in Zurich. I’m enjoying apples and cinnamon and orange plants and chilly mornings and making Halloween costumes. Here’s a preview of Claire and Bea’s Halloween costumes. I discovered you can make the top of a cardboard egg carton into a mask. I just soaked it completely in water…

  • Over the weekend we climbed a modest mountain called Etzel that is on our side of Lake Zurich. We have been so fortunate to have a bunch of lovely Fall days. We climbed up up up through a pretty forest and then we were rewarded with beautiful views all the way to Zurich.  Bea was…
