Swedish Traditions - Kräftskiva and Fika

These pictures were taken at Kräftskiva. That is a party that takes place in August in Sweden where people eat crayfish that has been soaked in brine and cooked in dill. Traditionally there is a lot of alcohol involved too but we did not have much at this party. Butterfly is up for any custom that includes her eating! She also likes to hang out with her cousins. Witchlet and Goobie-kins had some fun in the playroom as well.


































Here is Butterfly all ready for Fika. Per Wikipedia: Fika is a social institution in Sweden, it means having a coffee with one's colleagues, friends, date, or family. We went to Fika to celebrate Butterfly's great-grandmother's 87th birthday. Butterfly really enjoyed this because there was food!

Butterfly also really liked this nifty seat I bought for her to use whenever high chairs were not available.
