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.
