Swedish Midsummer celebration

Swedish Midsummer celebration this year was at the Swedish church here in Singapore (Morten started Saturday, after a dinner/KTV event arranged by good friend Markus Dahlstrom).

The midsummer celebration was exactly by the tradition book: lunch with loads of various herrings/potatoes/etc/etc, dance around the midsummer pole, strawberry cake, games - and sealing it with a dip in the pool and a family service.

Had a great afternoon, but wow was it steamingly hot!!!

No, it was definitely not a piece of cake to get them to wear the flowers, after mummy spending 2 hrs to finish them.... Tried everything and NOTHING worked, until Hannah finally realized flowers are what you wear at Midsummer and she put it on :-)

Dance time!!!

And games....

The mums were very active and haven't our young ones learned how important it is to win...hm...they know it now.... :-)
