The ferry trip was full of excitement for Morgy, in particular as it was quite windy on board. Despite having been given a nice bed by the ferry company Morgan had a dreadful night (at least the parents did), not going to bed before 22:00 and waking up for awhile at 4am and then finally at 6am for good. After some long walks with daddy (and some Japenese tourists) on deck it was a happy Morgan who arrived in Stockholm at 9:30.
In Sweden it was very exciting to meet 2nd cousin Vincent (and his parents). Morgan got to do some traditional Swedish midsommar-celebration in Söderköping on the way to Oskarshamn. Finally in Oskarshamn (at Vincent's summer cottage) Morgan got to enjoy swimming (in 8 degree water), playing with Vincent, walks in the forest, beaches, sunshine, rain and a lot of good food (well the parents got the good food, Morgan just got blueberries).
After Sweden Morgan got to spend time meeting family in Finland for a few days, including a family barbecue party. As the weather got better and better Morgan even got to go to the beach (the water was much warmer there). Towards the end of the week Morgan got a surprise visit from André (with Magnus and Béné). André who had been in France for a few weeks decided to stop by on his way back to Sweden. After a day of biking (and biting) and swimming Morgan and André went to visit Victor (and Erik, Sofia, Benny and Freddie) for a nice barbecue dinner. The following day was spent visiting sights in Helsinki of which Morgy and André particularly liked Sveaborg. Magnus did his best to swim of the islands, but he wasn't successful.
After all this it was time for goobyes, first to André and family and then to the rest of the family. Morgan took his time saying goodbye, in particular to the dogs Roxy and Alma and can't wait to get back!

In Sweden it was fun to play with cousin Vincent
Off to the traditional midsummer party in Söderköping
Morgan got to enjoy a nice picnic.
And a traditional midsummer-pole (fortunately there is no evidence from the dancing).
Morgan also got to try some new sunglasses. He's already enjoying the fame!
On the way to Oskarshamn plenty of "emergency"-stops were needed.
Finally there, Morgan is enjoying swimming in the cold water (He actually did not enjoy it that much).
Afterwards he's all smiles again though. 
Oskashamn included some nice walks in the forest.
And even nicer picnics on the beach.
Some posing with cousin Vincent.
And some long walks back in the pouring rain!
Morgan took the habit of waking up around 6:30 in Sweden to his parents' (daddy's) great joy.
Morgan also became known as the "tornado", here trying to interrupt Vincent while eating.
It was fun to be out in the nature though.
And it was even more fun to eat blueberries!
Cousins and 2nd cousins...
Back in Finland Morgan was happy to meet gammel-mormor again!
And to play in the backyard.
He also got to eat cucumber at farmor's.
And to play with farfar Bengt!
But most of all he liked bathing in the backyard!
and to play with his new floating toys. 
For the bbq-party a fish was smoked in the backyard (under heavy supervision).
Great uncle Robi was teaching Morgan how to crawl on grass. 
A family picture was also taken. Even Milla the dog made it on to the picture. 
Mogran also got to enjoy the beach with farmor Benita. 
He also enjoyed the warmer water here. 
Ready for a biking tour with André...
After lots of biting and hair pulling Morgan enjoys a nectarine. 
..and some more swimming. 
After all this, two very tired boys ride home. 
And get to enjoy a nice bath!
The following day Sveaborg is on the menu. 
The boat ride is a lot of fun!
After all the goodbyes Morgan enjoys the flight home in his car seat!
