Hey-ho,
With the announcement of things reopening this summer (or sooner), the whole state seems to be breathing a sigh of relief. I know I am. And while I'm thrilled things are opening again, the Covid Lockdown taught me what was important and what wasn't.
I need to take some time and evaluate what is important, and I invite you to join me. Here are three questions to think about?
- What was one thing that I missed during the Lockdown?
Other than traveling, for me it was people.
- What was on thing that I didn't miss or didn't mind?
I didn't mind having people stay outside when they came to visit me. I liked being outside with them and not needing to clean the house.
- How does the Lockdown adjust my life?
I will continue to order groceries online. I will continue to avoid drinking fountains (I was anyway because, gross). I will continue to stay home more because we have a dog that joined our family during Covid.
Five things that can give you a great big smile.
- This podcast: We love Nate Bargatze. His humor makes my husband and I giggle with delight all the time.
- This instagram post: I know this shows what generation I'm in, but we have to do something to help our kids learn patience!
- This YouTube: These guys are NOT known for their musicality, but this is GENIUS!
- This quote: Because it's been......a year. And this is true for all of us!
- This teacher: I don't know what to think about him, but I love this so much.

In May, we’re super excited to get outside and enjoy activities in the parks, spring festivals and nature-based play. We have inspiration on how to spend Mother’s Day and Memorial Day Weekend. We’re also gearing up for another
awesome Summer to Remember Adventure, so stay tuned for how you can participate!
May is National Water Safety and Drowning Prevention Month. This important topic impacts all families. Every adult who supervises children needs to know basic information on how to keep kids safer in and around water.
In 2021, dozens of Minnesota museums will again participate in the summer Blue Star Museums program. This national program provides free admission to active-duty military personnel and their families each summer, since 2010. The 2021 program begins on Saturday, May 15, 2021 (Armed Forces Day) and ends on September 6, 2021 (Labor Day).
The Summer to Remember Adventure returns in 2021. Thanks to our Executive Partner AKASport, it starts June 14 and runs for nine weeks.
The summer is full of eight different adventures with the last week as a bonus week. Each week, we choose a winner for that week. And at the end of the summer, we will choose a Grand Prize Winner.
Sign up to learn how to win the grand prize!
If there is one thing that Minnesota is not lacking, it’s fish.
We have fish in our lakes.
We have fish in our aquariums.
We have fish on our walls.
And we also have fish immortalized as statues around the entire state. Are you looking for a fun family scavenger hunt?
Introducing the Ultimate Fish Finder. Travel around Minnesota, find works of art, and catch a big one!
