WordPress, Webcrusher, or Wyoming?


Hello everyone from Noodles and Sam,
The Adventures of Noodles and Sam team has been busy behind the scenes while Noodles & Sam have been out and about learning. We have been busy building our new blog site and our main site.
WordPress = good <> Webcrusher = not sure
We are hoping you like the new WordPress blog. Noodles & Sam and the team are very excited about it. WordPress has been very easy for us to use and customize. For the experienced or inexperienced the tools that are provided make it a comfortable place to settle in and call home. We have been working on The Adventures of Noodles and Sam website as well but behind the scenes. We used a program called Webcrusher to help the website open faster. Some of the feedback we have received from our great fans is the site is a little slow. The Webcrusher program did help the site open faster but was difficult to use and we are a little worried about the ability and ease to update the site now. Please let us know what you think and if you see any problems pop up. As you know we ad content to the site everyday so if you don't see it updated let us know. We appreciate all of your feedback. As you can see we listen to all of it and try to respond as soon as we can.
Wyoming's Cool Days
Noodles & Sam are in Wyoming, USA and having a great time seeing the sites, learning, and meeting new people.  The weather is a cool 38 degrees today and should be snowing by tomorrow. January is typically the coldest month in Wyoming and July is the warmest there. It is a good thing Noodles & Sam brought their winter clothes with them from their Germany adventure. The Wyoming adventure is becoming a great follow up to the German adventure. They are spending most of their time at the local elementary school. The teacher, Kitty has even written and prepared a few lesson plans for them and the students to use while Noodles & Sam are there. We will keep you posted.
Thanks!
We want to thank all of our great fans and followers. You are making The Adventures of Noodles and Sam grow everyday. You are helping kids and families spend time together and learn about the world. Please let us know if there is a place you would like them to learn about or if you would like them to come see you.
Until next time,
The Adventures of Noodles and Sam team

Truly Amazing!!

Hello and Happy New Year from Noodles & Sam,
Friends
Noodles and Sam are having a fantastic time in Germany. Rachel (and family) their hosts have been wonderful, they have opened their doors to Noodles and Sam and have made them a part of their family. They all are having such a great time that we are adjusting their travel calendar to allow them some extra time in Germany. It seems as though neither their hosts or Noodles and Sam are ready for the adventure to be over. Noodles and Sam have been able to experience a traditional German Christmas, have been able to see some of the sites (when it wasn't snowing) and even got to ring in the new year with their new German friends.
This adventure has been truly amazing and a fantastic way to start the new year!
Getting Ready
Although they have been busy Noodles & Sam have started thinking about their next adventure. If you don't know they will be traveling to the state of Wyoming here in the United States of America. They will be staying with a school teacher there and will probably spend some time with some of her students. We have been told that it is snowing a lot there but Noodles & Sam should be ready. Spending all of this time in Germany has prepared them for the snow. We will be trying again to do another Skype call from the Wyoming classroom as we tried in our Cambodian adventure. We will keep you posted.
Priority #1
We want to thank all of Noodles & Sam's many friends and followers from around the world. You made 2010 a great year filled with fun, learning and excitement. The Noodles & Sam team also learned a lot this past year and we appreciate all of your great e-mails and feedback (both good and  the constructive advice). We want to promise that together we will make 2011 an even better, bigger, brighter year for The Adventure of Noodles and Sam. We have so many ideas, projects, places and things we want to do it is hard to know where to start and find the time. We plan on many things like new videos, lessons, book club, game, cartoon, on an on the list goes. Our very first priority is learning. We will be concentrating on making sure that all of the pages we have learned about have all of the information on them. Thats priority #1.
Noodles & Sam mantra for 2011 is "See-Learn-Share"
Thats it for now. Let us know what adventure you would like to see us on next. Thank you for 2010 and what is to be a fantastic 2011. We want to say a special hello to our new friend in Tel Aviv, Israel before we go.
