Celebrating Our Finnish Heritage

We came, we saw, we ate waffles.

As always, we really enjoyed the Scandinavian festival!


We made some of our best-ever flower crowns


and witnessed the raising of a Midsummer Pole--with lots of "Hey Hi"s, "Hey Ho"s and even a couple of "OH NO"s when the pole was looking especially difficult to raise due to a broken support beam. 


Janae, Alaina and Eric danced some traditional dances,


and Eric got to do some kids' activities, like an Ikea stuffed animal toss


and some dressing up in the Viking Village.


We also ran into two of my sisters, one of my aunts, and two of my cousins!

Janae and Jason got their Swedish meatballs, too.

Overall, a successful event--one we'll continue to look forward to every summer.
