Summer is sadly almost over but there are still just enough weeks left to complete your summer bucket list! Minnesota summers are always so short so we have to take advantage of it.

Below I have a list of 'must-do' things that would be fun to accomplish before summer comes to a close. Maybe you've already done a good chunk of them. Maybe you've got a list of things you wanted to do this summer that hasn't really been touched.

Either way, you've got a little time of warm weather left to get your list all checked off!

How many of these summer 'must-dos' have you already done? Let's see!

Check Out the New Splash Pad in Rochester (it's located near Walmart North)
