The celebration of the national day was at the open air museum. First the soldiers were coming carrying the flag. |

|
After the soldiers the band was coming. Here they are playing. |

 |
|
| Children from Russia visited Sweden and were singing. | |
 |
|
| Here he Russian children were dancing. | |
 |
|
| A Swedish dancing group was showing up Swedish folk dance. | |
 |
|
| Here the music was sounding very happy. | |

|
| A little poodle was sitting under a table. It was nice for the dog to be in the shadow. | |
 |
|
| This is a kind of soft plastic cushion you can use it for sitting in the grass. Then you are protected from the cold and wet ground. The town gave these to people who were at the national day. | |
 |
|
| But then people also began to use it as a sunhat :-). | |
 |
|

| 2009-06-06. Happy me at the open air museum. At this picture I needed robust jeans over my soft pants and a soft hooded cardigan under the jacket. On this picture I used the soft blue hood as a scarf around my neck, to protect against the cold. | |
