The Amazing Adventures of Chocolate Mike: June in Indiana

The Story of Chocolate Mike

It all started in July 2007, when we were at Mary's cabin on Lake Coeur d'Alene. Little Jennings found a dinosaur in Molly's geocache box, and he didn't want to give it up, so Molly let him play with it. Well, soon the adults started having fun with it, taking pictues of it in various poses and with various objects (especially beer). Ultimately, we just stole it from Jenning (yes, we did steal from a 2 year old; no, we don't have any morals) and decided that it would accompany us on any future trip we may take.

Chocolate Mike got his name when we took a break from boating and went to a restaurant for lunch. Jennings yelled that he wanted "Chocolate Mike" (translation: chocolate milk), and we decided it was the perfect name for a plastic dinosaur.

Through his travels, Chocolate Mike has picked up a few friends, so what started as a blog about a lone dinosaur has now turned into a blog about Chocolate Mike and His Posse.

June in Indiana

Our June trip to Indiana was the 16th through the 23rd. On Thursday night we went to visit Steve's brother in nearby Kouts. They have a lovely old farmhouse.
