            JILLIAN'S  PAGE

2/17/07

        Jillian will have her 9th birthday, just as we're returning to Florida this year. She has grown up so much in these past two years.... she is the same lovable, huggable Jillian, but much more mature and tall! She is the one person who will always, always, always, be willing to jump in the water and go snorkeling with Mom, when no one else is interested (especially if there are sea turtles involved). Jillian loves to swim with the turtles and fish! She loves all kinds of animals, especially babies, as you can see from the pictures below! Here are some pictures of her favorite times while living on the boat:

Riding with Dad in Luperon!    At the waterfalls in the Dominican Republic with Jamie, Rachel & Marcie    The girls had very rare swims at the pool at the resort over the hill from the anchorage in Luperon. When they had the opportunity, they never wasted it!   

Jillian in one of numerous swings she & Marcie designed in the cockpit. They would spend an hour tying up various ropes and pulleys!    Jillian and friend, Sara, dressing up on the boat    At Steve's Place in Luperon, Sara & Jillian with the cruisers' favorite "adopted" dog, Smiley    Jillian with both of her Buddies!

At Hacienda Melodia, with her friend Jasmine and the favorite farm rooster!    Yet one more baby at Hacienda Melodia - a calf    One of Hacienda Melodia's puppies, Delila    Jillian and her friend, Sara, with two baby chicks at Hacienda Melodia   

Cute kittens at Hacienda Melodia.... Jillian and her sisters really wanted to adopt a few!    A baby donkey, cute as can be! If there's a baby animal to be found, Jillian will spot it!    Friend Ali, Rachel & Tori also wanted to adopt this puppy, named Taco Bell by the people at Rum Cay, where he roamed free...    Flamingos at the Luperon Resort

Foals everywhere... it must be that time of year!    Ali & Tori, getting ready to ride    Foal and Mom    Cute enough for a second picture!   

Racing around at Chub Cay in the Bahamas    Catch the expression on Jillian's face as she flies through the water...    Thumbs up means go faster!!!!    An exhausted, but satisfied girl, being reeled back in for a rest!           

        Guess what? I'm seven now, and I had my birthday while we were on the boat! Here's some pictures of my adventures:

Marcie and I are getting ready to snorkel at Molasses Reef!     Here's one of my favorite things to do....chase Buddy on the sand bars!    With my friend, Sara, playing on the boat!    I love going fast in the dinghy! If it's just Daddy and me, we really fly!   

In the hammock, with my braids from Bimini!    I like to kayak, too!

            I'm Jillian, and I love horses, swimming, and playing with our pets. I love being with my family and I love animals. I'm six years old, and I love stuffed animals, my sisters and my Mom and Dad!
