Friday I experienced my first Swedish crayfish party. This is a big thing here. I have no idea how it got started but every year around this time there are many of them. All the stores sell crayfish party decorations, crayfish shaped bread, and of course, crayfish. What is a crayfish party?!? I think this is really just an opportunity to drink!
When we arrived at Robert and Asa's house, we were given party hats. Yep, adults and kids alike!
I'm sure Craig will love me for this one!
During the party, we ate and then suddenly it was singing time. I don't sing in English...or Swedish! It was fun though and everyone joins in to sing a short drinking song followed by a shot of some of Asa's schnapps. She made her own lemon-mint schnapps. The night was filled with friendly conversation, laughing, singing and drinking. The kids had a great time playing together. It was a blast! Everyone we met was great! I hope to see them all again and will try to arrange a BBQ here soon!
Looks like a lot of fun! Did you actually eat those things, though?
