Photos: Duggars and Bates in the Bahamas

A couple weeks ago, we shared a video message that Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar filmed with Gil and Kelly Bates while on vacation in the Bahamas. The trip was in celebration of the Bates' 30-year wedding anniversary, and the four friends were flown to the island by pilot John-David Duggar.

Jim Bob said that he was pleasantly surprised when Michelle wanted to go parasailing. Below are a couple photos.

In celebration of their 30th wedding anniversary, Gil and Kelly Bates are in the Bahamas, and Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are with them! The two couples have been close friends for more than 20 years, and they thought it would be fun to take a vacation together. Pilot John-David Duggar flew them to their destination.

Below is a video message from the Duggars and Bates in honor of Jinger (Duggar) Vuolo's 24th birthday, which is today.
