Midsummer in Sunnanhed

We spend midsummer in Dalarna and it was so nice to be back and just relax and enjoy the long summer days and nights. We went for walks in the woods and the kids enjoyed the freedom to not always hang around us :)

We had a traditional swedish midsummer party with herring and snaps! We played games (juniors against middle aged and seniors...and I could not believe I had to be in the middle age team;)!!

This year we also had grilled wild boar which was very good. We went on a midsummer pole rising.. and of course we danced like fools around the pole, like the tradition says.

Well, if you never been in Sweden you just can’t imagine how it is to have sun all day and almost all night...it’s very special...so we spend a night and just had a great time by “Oresjon” looking at the sun go down and then a few hours later rise again.

A midsummer in Dalarna is always a treat for your soul and mind..

This is where I spend all my summers as a child and it’s always nice to be back...

This is a midsummer pole on it’s way up, up into the sky.
