Jani- Latvian Summer Solstice June 21st



We have taken a few mini trips now with Linnea. One of which was difficult. Her first road trip was a 2 hour drive to Shelton, WA where Jani (John's Day)- the Latvian camp summer solstice celebration.
After sleeping almost the entire way down to Shelton....we arrived to a fairly pleasant day and spent time with Omi, Carina, Taage and the Freimanis family, as well as the other latvians. I think Linnea was a little overwhelmed by all of the people and commotion at the Latvian camp. It is a fun party for grown-ups and bigger kids, but not for little babies.
She basically stayed up all day since we didn't have a quiet place to put her down.
Oh well, next year should be better. These 2 pictures basically show how Linnea felt at Jani.
Linnea did seem to like watching the dancing later- but by then she was just loopy from lack of sleep! We both ended up hitting the sack just after 9pm and I missed out on the dancing and partying :(
Although by then, I was just glad to have Linnea happily sleeping.
