In early September we had to opportunity to go out east to attend Drew's grandparents' funeral. It was a wonderful time with family, even though the circumstances were less then ideal.
The coolest thing we did was a tour of D.C. on a duck boat, an old World War II truck/boat. It was awesome to drive right into the river!

The Heckert cousins had a great time playing together. Here is the pirate ship they built to explore the seven seas.
