***Sweden: July 14 ,2007***

Today it was time for the big BBQ party, a chance to get everyone together. "Everyone" in this case are my mom, Ken, Sarah and myself, Carina, Börje and Sandra, and my 6 aunts (Bente, Pia, Lotte, Gitte, Elisabeth, Ewa) and their immediate families. All in all we were 31 people. Lots of fun catching up with everyone! We started off by having coffee and cake, then most people went for a long walk while some of us started prepping a bit for dinner.

We had set up long tables in the outdoor carport my aunt and her husband have, in case it would rain later on. We barbecued all kinds of food and had a great time chatting.

Later in the evening when most people had gone home, a bunch of us moved the conversation to the outdoor patio in the front of the house. We enjoyed talking for many hours in the light of the fire sparkling in the fireplace. A memorable day!

Coffee and cake time! We enjoyed both Swedish cake with whipped cream and strawberries, as well as Swedish "princess cake"

Everyone was in a good mood at this table!

Härligt med en sådan riktigt stor släktträff. Perfekt att ha en lada man kan hålla till i och fixa med långbord när man är så många.
