Today is Sweden’s 2nd biggest holiday after Christmas. It is Midsummer Festival and the day with the longest daylight.

We spent the entire day outdoor and celebrated in typical Swedish fashion. We went to the forest and danced around the ‘fertility pole’. It was quite fun and the kids love it.

We had another reason for staying outdoors. Our Russian painters are working overtime painting our house and so we have no choice but to keep the children out.
