One Midsummer pole and seven flowers

Our Midsummer Eve was a fantastic, wonderful day in the Stockholm archipelago. Weather was great (and I'm putting this first since this is a very important part of grading how great your midsummer were... and the first question fellow Swedes will ask you when talking about how you celebrated Midsummer) we danced the "little frog dance" around the Midsummer pole on the commons on the island, ate tons of Swedish princess cake, picked "smultron", fished in the pond, barbecued and collected seven flowers to put under our pillows to dream good dreams.

As a Swedish alien - this sure is how you would like your kids to experience Midsummer. I love Midsummer!

Åh vad härligt det ser ut! så sommrigt och så svenskt. Kanonväder verkar ni också haft tur att få. Kan ju knappast bli bättre.

Desiree - ja, det var helt otroligt, fånigt svenskt - fniss! Jo, vädret har varit helt otroligt. Vilka veckor vi har haft!
