National Day.

Some pictures from Sweden's National Day (June 6th):


Getting ready for some lunch.
Leia hanging out and waiting for the ceremony to start.
A marching band. Brought back lots of fun memories!
The marching was really bad. Mr. Barbaro would have shot them. But they were really good!
Leia and Farmor trying to stay cool in the heat.
A LOT more people there than we thought there would be. It was a really nice area.

A tired Leia.
A very, very tired Leia on our walk back to the car.


Fredrik forgot to take pictures of when I got my flag (my present from Åmål). But Farfar took some, so I'll put those on once they remember to send us copies. :)

There were 19 new citizens in Åmål this past year..!! Very surprised by how many.
Two of us were supposed to show up to get our gifts... but the female that was supposed to come, didn't. :/ :) Not surprised. :) I felt a little silly going up there myself.

Sweden's Defense Minister is from Åmål, and he was there yesterday and gave a very long "exciting" speech.


Some pictures from today:

Leia trying to eat Mommy's glasses.

A happy baby despite the heat.
:/ Maybe not my best angle. :/ :)

It is so warm.. :/ It takes us forever to fall asleep. So it almost isn't even worth going to bed early. :/

Poor Leia had a horrible time falling asleep today. :/
Even if it cools down outside, it is still almost 25 degC (80 degF) in the house.. :/

Ehh.. not much else.. :P
