Grandma and Grandpa Schubert - Headed to the State Capital

We took an afternoon and headed into Charleston to see the State Capital.  It is always a nice stroll and there is an amazing memorial for those members of the military who have lost their lives fighting for our country.  I've looked at it a few times, but never realized Jason had two family members listed on the wall.  It was nice for his Dad to find their names and show them to my children.  We will look for them now every time we go. 










Could my kids just ever make normal faces???  Just smile is all I ask!






Don't even ask.....I don't know what she is doing..



I honestly don't remember the last time I saw this much white marble.  It was beautiful.






Don't even comment on how nice this is that they are holding hands.....they are being punished.  When I asked them to stop behaving like idiots and stop smacking each other....this is what they got for the next 20 mins.  13 year old brother had to hold 10 year old sister's hand.  He was totally embarrassed and they didn't touch each other again for quite a while.




Look how thrilled they are...and we didn't even go through the museum.  So pleasant to sight see with my children...LOL





Appalachian Power Park!

We had some great friends invite us to the Budweiser Suite at the Appalachian Power Park-(West Virginia's Minor League Baseball Team) for one of their home games last month.  Never been to a real  baseball game before so this was a treat.  The ice cold beer cooler was packed with free beer and sodas for everyone invited with food delivered from Quaker State and any other vendor we wanted while we were there.  We probably had about 15 people there with us.  The family that invited us was the other GM to the Fridays about 10 mins away from mine.  Her name also Melissa - with two boys Emily and Trent's age.  The kids had a great time, and at some point during the game Quincy Wilson (played football for WVU and then for the NFL) walked in an hung out with us!  What a treat!  Of course Jason had to explain who he was to me, but exciting none the less!














More of the crew.....they crack me up Every day!

I've always said we hire mainly on personality - you just can't teach this!



See what happens on a busy night when you ask them to roll silverware.....At least we have proof now that Gary can do it.    Now, put that finger away and make some drinks!
