There’s nothing like summer in Minnesota, mostly because it’s a sweet reward for surviving another brutal winter. Walking barefoot everywhere, cool breezes, endless sunshine, spending all day in the pool, road trips to the cabin, boat rides on the lake, al fresco dining, bonfires and s’mores and stargazing…so much to love about this season.
When I was a nanny during the summer, the kids and I would always make a bucket list for the months that lay ahead of us. It was so much fun to always have something to do, and an easy way to avoid hearing the phrase “I’m bored,” over and over again! Ever since then, I love making a bucket list for every season. It forces me to take advantage of the events that only happen a certain time of year, especially living in a place where the seasons can be fleeting. You can find my fall list here.
This summer, I decided to do three different bucket lists, focused on Saint Paul and Minneapolis. The first is organized by date, with festivals and fairs under each month. The second is all about activities, and the third is focused on the best al fresco dining spots (and ice cream, of course). Feel free to download the lists, print them out, and check things off as you make your way through summer! And if you share your summer fun on Instagram, tag me @theartfuleveryday so I can see what you’re up to! Find the lists at the bottom of this post, below my summer mood board…
