Midsommar

DSC_1360b

A week and a half ago, June 20th, it was Swedish midsommar celebration at Sveadal. Midsommar here is like a concentrated version of what it is back home and feels more Swedish than in Sweden. Dad has celebrated midsommar here for years but this time it was different. Not the usual uncontrolled drinking, dancing all night long and passing out in a tent on the lawn/parking area type of midsommar this time.

This year was really nice and it was great to be able to show Maya some Swedish traditions. She loved the dancing around the maypole and went nuts in the little kids pool. The grown-ups actually managed to eat some herrring, new potatoes, eggs etc and drank a few snaps and beers. We had a great time as usual.
