The Contest is Over... and We Have a Winner!
The dust is still settling from the brainstorm that hit the Adventure Team's conference room while we decided on the winner of our contest.
We thought and thought, and debated and analyzed... can we award the adventure to a Squid Girl since we had sent out the call for an adventure with Squid Guy?
Hmmm, what's an Adventure Team to do?
Should we give our lensmasters a second chance to dazzle us with their creativity in real world adventures?
We thought and thought, we talked, and debated, but when the day was done, we just couldn't resist Party Animal's story with Squid Girl.
So, head on over to Adventures of Squid Headquarters to learn more about the fabulous adventure story of Party Animal and Squid Girl!
This contest may be over for now, but the Adventures of Orange Guy and Squid Girl have only just begun. Adventures come in all shapes and sizes, and like life; you never know what kind of adventure lies just around YOUR corner.
It would be a good idea to start peeking through the corners of your house to see what kind of adventure materials you may have stashed there. You never know when you may need to answer the call of the wild.... are you ready?

We Got Our Inspiration From "The Flat Stanley Project"

Flat Stanley a 1964 children's book by Jeff Brown (1926 ? December 3, 2003) and illustrated by Tomi Ungerer. It was the first in a series of books featuring Stanley Lambchop, a completely flat boy.
