Squid Heene

Squid Heene is the oldest, and slipperiest of all the Heenes. Hence why there is no photo... it was just too hard to nail him down. His sea legs kept him far away from our investigative crew.

Squid, known as Calamari to his friends, was always looking to the cleansing power of water to get him going. He loved taking baths as a young child, had an obsession with ink pens and it was rumored that he had ten legs at one time. But this seaworthy child, after a natural water birth, knew that his destiny was the wild adventurous sea.

Squid gained mild notoriety when he stole a submarine and took it for a test drive. The US Army finally found the errant Sub and discovered that there was no one in it... just that it seemed to have gotten let loose by a storm chaser... they know this because there were storm chasing maps near the controls.

Immediately after the sub left, a call from Father Heene, a storm chaser, reached the media telling them that his sea ridden son Squid had stolen a submarine, and that it should be reported on. A few reporters took the juicy bait... but couldn't find Squid anywhere.

Turns out he was just sitting at home watching T.V. The parents apparently didn't see him sitting on the couch in the same room they called CNN from. They still adamantly defend that this was not staged.

But Squid knows that one day... one day he will take to the sea... if his friends stop beating him up for being named Squid.

Mole Heene

Mole Heene was a very grounded child. Always knowing that he belonged to the Earth, and to no one else. Mole excelled in geography and gardening as a very young boy, and constantly read "The Journey to the Centre of the Earth," his favorite book. Mole gained a small amount of notoriety when he supposedly "took his father's shovel and began his extravagant voyage into the ground, where he was born to live."

An underground search occured to find young Mole, but to no avail. Could this underground miner be faster than authorities? Could this young adventure ridden lad really live up to his name sake and breath in the ground dirt to only emerge in order to steal the occassional farmer's vegetable?

Turns out no. He was just sitting in the backyard playing with his toys. His parents lost a shovel and called CNN with the story without looking out back.

But could it be an elaborate stunt? Could it just be awful parenting? We will never know. Unless the answer lies underground, and then we know who to turn to to find it.

MOLE HEENE!

Falcon Heene

The famous one. Falcon Heene has always had a desire to follow his destiny. Falcons are born to fly. And so he did. Falcon gained international acclaim when he supposedly took flight in his father's helium balloon. Flying over the heads of Coloradans (sp?) for almost two hours, only to safely land a few towns away.

But shock occured as authorities couldn't find him in the vessel! Had Falcon taken to the air one last time in an effort to escape? Had Falcon broken the chains of his nest and taken to the air?

No. He turned out to just be hiding in the attic, where no one cared to look for him.

It also may or may not have been a publicity stunt.

But people can't blame him for that... Falcons were meant to fly free. Free of these "stunts" and "chains" and "truths."

Falcon Heene. Soaring through America's heart like the balloon that did not carry him.

The whole fam

Here are the heros of this adventure blog:

The parents are very proud of their adventurous children. All three of them. They've done some things that explorers could only dream of...

The Heenes, Wife Mayumi and storm scientist Richard, knew that they wanted a strange family of adventure... that's why they named their children (from left to right): Squid Heene, Falcon Heene and Mole Heene.

Unfortunately, only Falcon's adventures have gained international fame. This blog will remedy that.
