A Jaguar Heads to the Mountains!

A jaguar joined a JYJ student and her family on a nature outing to Blowing Rock, NC!  

I went to the mountains.

I got to stand on the edge of a cliff!

Jagi is eating her salmon.

 

Jagi stood in the windows...

We stood inside  the play place, and we were the only 

ones in the cheetah camp room!

We spent the afternoon on the lake, and took a picture of a swan and a dragon fly.

What a wonderful trip to the mountains!

A Jaguar Visits Virginia!

One of our students let a Joyner Jaguars tag along on her family vacation to The Homestead in Virginia...

I went to the Jefferson pools. It was warm. It was healthy. It was called the warm springs. They are very old.

A JY Joyner Jaguar Travels to China!

This summer our families traveled to China along with the JYJ Jaguar.  Amelia, Sarah Grace, Hannah and Olivia were all born in China and got to return and visit the country of their birth.  JY Jaguar came along and saw a lot of very interesting sites. 

We hung out in the Chicago airport together waiting for the long plane ride to China:

First stop was Beijing.  We first visited the Forbidden City, home of the ancient emperors.

We took a really long walk along the Great Wall of China.

Another really cool place we traveled together was to the Chengdu Panda Reserve.  We all volunteered and got to feed snacks and scoop poop together!

When we visited a local park in Guangzhou, Jag watched as we all exercised together with some local women. 

It was a long 24 hour trip back to Raleigh.  We all enjoyed our 3 weeks together in this ancient yet modern world.
