There is a narrow window in which we in Minnesota get to experience sunshine and warm weather. I like to cram as much as possible into the short season. Every summer, I create a wishlist of fun things I hope to accomplish and places I want to go. This summer is no exception. Some of the items repeat every year, and some are new additions.

As usual, the number of things on the list seems to exceed the amount of time allotted, but I hope to cross off as many items as possible!

This summer I want to:

  • Go to a Twins game
  • Check out all the cool vehicles at the Faribault Car Cruise Nights
  • Tube down the river
  • Road trip to visit friends
  • Watch fireworks
  • Spend a morning at the driving range
  • Go on a camping trip
  • Take a long bike ride
  • Check out the Blue Collar BBQ and Arts Fest in Faribault
  • Spend a night sitting around a bonfire
  • Hit up Faribault Crazy Days in July
  • Spend an evening playing tennis
  • Go on long walks with my dog
  • Listen to live music
  • Spend a day at the lake
  • Take a trip to the farmer’s market
  • See a race at Canturbury Downs
  • Go to local festivals
  • Take a long nap in a hammock
  • Take a million pictures
  • Explore some of our state parks
  • Play beanbag toss and other yard games
  • Drive around the lakes
  • Enjoy life!

I know this list is long and summer is short, but I’d love to check quite a few of these off. How are you hoping to spend your summer?
