Sweden's National Day and Weekend in Stockholm

Everyone was excited about Sweden's
National Day.  
This video was taken at Slottsskogen Park 
on Sweden National Day.  I was enjoying the
symphony concert and when they started
playing this beloved Swedish summer song
(in the LDS hymnbook) I just had to record 
it for John.  Sorry it is so jumpy.


The folk dancers parade.

On the way to Stockholm we stopped at this ruin.

Two old ruins at the ruins.

Beautiful view out the window of the ruin.  It was a
summer house for a German nobleman.

In front of the palace in downtown Stockholm.

A pretty narrow street in Gamlestan (Old Town)

The Baltic Sea at Nynäshamn

Arne Hedberg and John first met 50 years ago.

Elder M. Russell Ballard speaking to the YSA's
of Europe.
The royal wedding was also held on Saturday.
No, I did not take this picture.  The next
photo shows as close as we got.

The palace at Drottningholm outside of town
where the royal family lives and where the wedding
reception was being held.

Sack lunches for 160.
The Nordic Regional Conference on Sunday.
We almost made it in this official photo...
we are right directly behind the sister in aqua
on the far left.

Lots of well worn missionary shoes.

Love your pictures! And you are far from being "old ruins," even if you do have a few miles on you. Love you!
