Flying High

The last few days have been very busy. Noodles and Sam have been trying to squeeze a lot in, over the coarse of the last week we have visited a private charter jet company, a plane museum, the Sheriff's station and the hospital to learn about ambulances. Since the Sheriff's station was close to the court house we tried to sneak in to meet a judge. Unfortunately, we were turned down by a bailiff. They all have been very cool but the private jet and the ambulance were at the top of the list. We wanted to say thank you to Carol, Shiv and the gang at Mach One Jet Charters for letting us come in, Deputy Sheriff Laing and EMT's Meza and Martgan for teaching us about how they help all of us.
Noodles and Sam are now off to ride with their uncle Steve for a few days. He is a train Engineer for Burlington Northern Sante Fe Railroad. We are going to learn all about trains, how they work and how important they are to all of us.

Wins and Losses

The kids heard back today from a few places they had contacted. They had contacted the San Bernardino County Court house and requested that they get to meet a real judge as well as see the inside of a real court room. Ava told me she wanted to ask him how they became a judge. Unfortunately, the court said no.
We also had contacted two large manufacturing plants near where we live. We contacted the Coca Cola facility and the Frito-Lay plant. They thought it would be neat to see how things were made and thought other people would want to see it to. Unfortunately both places said no.
They did have a win today though. They had me contact UCLA to take a tour. Noodles and Sam had already visited one college while on their Texas Adventure but didn't get to see the inside of a classroom. The kids wanted Noodles and Sam (and themselves) to see what it looked like firsthand. They thought that other kids would want to see it as well.
UCLA was great, said yes and we are going to tour the campus this Friday.

Noodles and Sam - 1st post

This is our first post for The Adventures of Noodles and Sam using this format. The kids wanted a place where we could post our thoughts but where others could share as well. Hopefully this will be what they were looking for.
God Bless.
Greg, Ava and Jakob
