We have about one month left of summer in Minnesota. Can you believe it? It's hard to believe that it's almost August but we have to take advantage of our warm weather while we can.

Because we have such long and sometimes awful winters it's really important to soak up all of summer that we can get. So I put together a list of 10 items that are 'must-dos' to add to your Minnesota summer bucket list.
