The idea of Adventure Buddy® evolved from a family ski trip in 2017.  We were all scheduled to fly and my daughter Makena wanted to bring along a huge lamb plushie.  It barely fit in her carry-on backpack, which spurred her thoughts to create a small, hands-free, travel-sized plushie, called Adventure Buddy®.  My son, Hayden then added to the idea of an App that would work with Adventure Buddy® to earn rewards or money from relatives and friends for adventures completed.  As parents, we all know that technology is not going away anytime soon, so teach your kids young to Get up – Get Out  -Explore!
