This year, brothers Dean, Drew, and Dylan returned to Hawaii for another unforgettable adventure. As three awesome swimmers who love the beach, they spent plenty of time in the ocean—boogie boarding at several beautiful beaches and enjoying the waves. Waimanalo Beach quickly became their favorite, with its fun, powerful waves and perfect conditions for boogie boarding.
The brothers also took a step back in time at Pearl Harbor, visiting the USS Missouri and memorial sites to learn about history and pay their respects to the heroes who gave their lives in service to our country.
Their Hawaiian adventure continued out on the water, where they went fishing and caught quite a number of fish! Rather than keeping their catch, they released the fish back into the ocean, where they could return to their families in no time.
From riding waves and exploring history to fishing together on the open water, Dean, Drew, and Dylan made memories that will last a lifetime. #bobcatsummer #weare54 #hawaii

Mrs. Kardys enjoyed a Chicago boat ride with lots of extended family for her sister-in-law and brother-in-law's 25th Wedding Anniversary. She traveled to South Haven, Michigan with her family and visited Holland, Michigan. Then drove 9-ish hours (should have been 6-ish hours) to Toronto, Canada. They visited the CN tower and also stopped by Niagara Falls! #bobcatsummer #weare54 #blackwellbobcats
