Noodles and Sam, On the campaign trail...kinda

Noodles and Sam say greetings from "the land of the rising sun",

They have been having a great time in Kyoto and Tokyo and have a lot to share with us. They will be coming home this weekend and I am sure will need a day just to rest. On Monday we will be visiting United States Congressman David Dreier's office, which we are all very excited about! We will be sure to get those pictures and everything we learn on the site as soon as we can. Let us know if there are any questions you would like us to ask him before we go.

We heard from our new friends in Cambodia today. They asked if we could reschedule our trip for a few days later. We said no problem, so instead of leaving next Tuesday for Cambodia, we will be leaving next Saturday. We are all still very excited about doing our Skype phone call from here to Cambodia while Noodles and Sam are there. So because our trip was pushed back a couple of days so will our call.

We spoke to Donna, the assistant to Mayor Don Kurth, the mayor of our city and we will be visiting him on November 3rd. He also invited us to stay for the city council meeting. We are looking forward to seeing what a mayor's day is like and what happens behind the scenes of the city council. We want to thank Mayor Kurth and his executive assistant Donna for the invitation and for setting this all up!

Noodles and Sam always want to thank you for the great e-mails they receive. The response is amazing and you all really make this world a better place. Please keep sending them, Noodles and Sam love responding to all of you. Today they want to say a special hello to their new friends in San Antonio, Texas, Alberta Canada and San Francisco, California.

Until next time,

Wow, what a week!

Noodles and Sam say konnichiha (pronounced as konnichiwa) or hello from Japan,

They are having a great time there and have told us there is so much to see and learn. They told us they will have some cool pictures for us when they get back.

Yesterday Noodles and Sam received a phone call from the office of United States Congressman David Dreier. They have have been invited to his office to see and learn a bit about what he does. They were very excited! N & S have received many e-mails that their website is being used in classrooms all over the country. Their visit to the Congressman's office should be a great trip for everybody to learn from. Thanks Congressman Dreier!

Noodles and Sam were also invited to take a tour of the local UPS (United Parcel Service) shipping facility. It is the 3rd largest in the country and employs over 3500 people. They learned just how they get to all of those fun and interesting places they get to. We should have those pictures on the site in the next few days. We want to give a special thanks to Morgan and the gang at UPS!

Noodles and Sam want to thank everybody for all of their fantastic e-mails they have been receiving from across the country and around the world. They realize how special you all are and you are what makes their adventures so fun and unique. Please keep sending the e-mails, they will get to all of them and maybe they will come see you!

Finally, Noodles and Sam have been asked lots and lots for Noodles and Sam "stuff". They will soon have some Adventures of Noodles and Sam bracelets available. They won't have a lot of them so be sure to get your name on the list! (P.S. Hello to our new friends in Luxembourg, Mumbai, and the Bronx.)

Until next time, keep exploring!

Good news and Bad news

Hello again,

First the bad news, thanks to our friend Hurricane Earl our Washington D.C. trip/adventure was canceled. That was a big bummer! Now for the good news, we had some great people contact us from Chicago so Noodles and Sam are leaving this afternoon for the windy city. We are really excited. They are planning on being there until next Wednesday or so. Their hosts have told us they have planned a bunch of stuff for them to see and learn about. They are going to be taking Noodles and Sam to the top of the Sears tower just to name one of the fun things they have planned. Their Chicago hosts asked if we could find little jackets for Noodles and Sam, they said it gets cold at the top of the tower. September is a busy month for Noodles and Sam; full of fun, adventure and learning. Be sure to check back.

Talk to you next time,

Getting Ready for Washington DC

Hi Everyone,

Well today Noodles and Sam went on a photo shoot with our mom, that's a first! They were taking some photos of the new model homes for KB Home. Noodles and Sam learned all about how photographer's use lighting and how they edit and prepare the photos for release to the customer. Noodles and Sam kept on trying to get in the photograph and were climbing on all the equipment. Needless to say Noodles and Sam wanted all the photos to be taken of them.

Now we are getting them ready to go to Washington D.C., they should have a great time. They are looking forward to learning about all the great monuments. They will be back next week after Labor Day!

Talk to you soon,

Ava and Jakob
