Midsummer Frenzy!

For all of you who've never celebrated a Swedish Midsummer - well, this is pretty much what it's like!

No Midsummer celebration is complete without some lovely old men playing instruments. The accordion (in the middle) is my favorite.

You definitely need music, because with no music, dancing around the maypole just ain't the same.

Typical Midsummer accessory: flowers in the hair. All the little ones always look like princes and princesses.

Another typical Midsummer accessory: a kid with flowers in the hair.

Apparently, the don't celebrate Midsummer in Colombia. My boyfriend's brother showed his girlfriend how to fit in perfectly. Step one: dancing! That, they do i Colombia.

Diana seemed to have a good time. Here, she's showing her boyfriend something on her phone. Why? I have no idea. I was busy taking photos.

My Midsummer crew!

When the whole maypole business got a little old, we went back to the house and had so much delicious food that I had to go upstairs and pass out for two hours afterwards before I was fit for another round. I know, I'm getting old. But hey! Then more people came by and we celebrated Midsummer for two more days, and I didn't fall asleep once! (...except at night. But come on, that doesn't count.)
