Minnesotans know how to play! Summer in Minnesota has a way of nudging people outside whether they planned on it or not. Of course, not everyone enjoys the outdoors at the same speed. Some folks prefer a peaceful morning fishing on a quiet lake or enjoying s’mores around an evening bonfire with their BFFs. Others go all in, leaping from airplanes, mountain biking through the woods, or hiking until their step counter begs for mercy. However you do it - floating, trekking or reeling in a fish story, summer in Minnesota is basically one big invitation to play.
