Midsummer celebrations!

Last weekend my parents took me to the American Swedish Historical Museum in Philadelphia for a traditional Swedish midsummer celebration. It was a week early, but I guess they didn't want to compete with the big Swedish midsummer celebration in NY's Battery Park this Sunday. The one in Philly was very nice. They made lots of flower wreaths and I got the prettiest one, the one with large roses! Also, there was Smörgåstårta, and Swedish pastries. 

And of course no midsummer celebration with out singing and dancing "Små Grodorna" (The little frogs). Little known fact outside Sweden, this song was featured in Minority Report, check out this clip.

All that was missing from a truly traditional midsummer celebrations were drunk teenagers standing at the outskirts of the field watching the pole dances while saying things such as "can you believe people do this?, this is so lame!" followed by loud burps. I think deep down they wish they didn't have to be so cool... :)
