More 2 Explore – Instagram

It’s safe to admit that we haven’t been the best at posting photos on our Instagram account.  Mr. Explore recently added a few hearty shots from his autumn trip to the gorgeous Saas-Fee, so if you are interested, take a look.

Here’s to capturing amazing moments in our lives.

 

Family Activities – Pumpkin Carving

It is that time of year again, when the temperatures cool off, apples, pears and quince are abundant and pumpkins are all the rage.

If you are a family that resides in or near Basel mark your calendars for TODAY, Sunday, October 14 and October 28 for Family Sunday at Grün 80 (Rainstrasse 6, 4142 Münchenstein).

For just Fr. -2 children can purchase a pumpkin, carve the pumpkin and leave the mess. Yes!!! Plus, once you have finished carving enjoy a gorgeous walk around the Merian Gärtens.

A Case For Easy

Sometimes we return to the same places over and over again.  We know this world is vast and we are fully aware that there are countries we may never see, but there is something to be said for the familiar.  Easy quickly turns into romantic. Instead of planning your days in advance and worrying about the intricacies of a new adventure, you simply find yourself sliding into the arms of the familiar.  Much like resuming an old friendship, that welcome embrace entices you once again and you find yourself back where you previously sat. That comfort equates to a genuine feeling of vacating.  After all, isn’t that what a vacation means?
