Swedish Midsummer!
Friday June 23rd
After work I got ready and Nick picked me up and we went to the Swedish Club for a midsummer dinner and celebration. At the club we met up with Amanda, Hanna and Magda. The food was sooo good and I had been craving some Swedish food. After a delicious dinner Nick and I met up with Matilda and her cousin that was visiting. We all went to a rooftop bar downtown and it was a really cool bar and a lot of people since it was the Pride week.

This day Amanda hosted a Midsummer party so around 3 we all met at Amanda’s house and started prepping the food. Everyone brought a dish so we had a big potluck with Swedish food 😀 We had a really good dinner and afterwards Rebecka had divided us into two teams cause it was time for some typical Swedish midsummer games! We had a lot fun and the night ended with Kubb, another Swedish game 🙂

Time for midsummer celebration number three – Skandia Midsummer fest! I was at this event last year and I loved it so of course I went this year as well. Nick and I met up with Rebecka, Hanna, Magda and her boyfriend Lucas and we had a little picnic. We watched them raise the maypole and danced around it as little frogs cause that is what we crazy Swedes do 😛 I’m from a part in Sweden were Midsummer is really big so I have always celebrated it and danced around the maypole. I just love midsummer and being away from home this time of the year is a little tough but I have to say that I had three really great days celebrating this holiday with my Swedish girls 😀
