Midsummer at IKEA Logan


I'll take any chance I get to celebrate a Swedish event or a holiday♥
It's so important for the kids to understand and experience their Swedish heritage.

Midsummer at IKEA with Volvo and Vikings


Jonah - a future cool Volvo driver!

The new yummy Volvo V40


The life of the Vikings












Traditional Swedish dance around the maypole



The singers and the musicians

Time for Midsummer lunch in the IKEA restaurant

After a 45 mins wait in a long queue...


400 pre bought tickets had been sold, both online and in the restaurant 
previous to this day.
Lots of people showed up and thought they could buy the tickets, then and there, 
but unfortunately had to leave cause there were no tickets left.

 

Finally some food!


A mixture of Swedish delicacies;
different kinds of salmon, meatballs, prawns, eggs, 
pickled herring and potatoes... etcetera.


My plate.
... and yes, the prawns on the other plate were mine too.
Love prawns. 


My blue and yellow children



Happy Midsummer everyone!

  4. OMG. It was really crazy there for a while. One little table to feed the hungry hordes. It was kind of like the loaves and the fishes. But we had plenty of food in the end. A great day.
