The Media 5 Miler

June 21, 2014

Have I mentioned how much I love my town? There is always some sort of event or celebration to look forward to throughout the year, one of our favorites being the Media 5 Mile Run.
Since our home sits right on the course with over 1600 runners racing by twice, we make sure to throw a big soiree each year. We aren’t the only ones who celebrate though. The whole town is like one big party!
Some years I have run and some Hannah has too. But this year we sat back and cheered until we were hoarse.

To keep the dishes to a minimum we served mostly finger snacky foods. And with an over abundance of mint growing in the garden, Mojitos were the featured drink of the evening. Our muddler got a workout!

But maybe not as much of a workout as those runners. Especially the hamburger and hotdog.

We can’t wait for next year already.

    So much fun!
    My parents live on the main street of our town – always fun to sit on the lawn and watch the Canada Day and Fall Fair parades! Best seats in town!
    What food do you have cut into triangles, in the second photo? Is that pizza? or quiche? It looks YUM!
    Happy summer!

      Mona Lisa it’s basically a frittata with sliced blue and red potatoes, zucchini, basil and feta cheese. It was yummy!
