Our midsummer weekend

Midsummer is a big event in Sweden.  Swedes usually send midsummer's eve having a feast, drinking and singing with families and friends.  We usually spend midsummer with my mother-in-law, but this year we decided to just take it easy at home.
We went for a walk in the nature reserve in our neighbourhood.

Beautiful flowers and pretty kids! :D

Ivan was trying to break a twig... I think he needs to eat more... a LOT more!

This cool guy is too cool to even look in the camera... =.="

Silly Polly is scared of walking on planks.  She's afraid of heights and "suspicious" holes on the bridge... =.="

Cat-tail-looking caterpillar.

Angel made a midsummer cake with strawberries of course!

On midsummer's day, we invited Mavis and Fredrik to come over and wrap rice dumplings.  I know that the  dumpling festival is over, but here in Sweden, we really don't care what season or festival it is, we do what we want, whenever we want! :D

Angel's rectangular dumpling...

Boiled and cooked!

Fredrik made banana crumble with vanilla ice cream! 

Perfect for tea break!
