Bates Visit Florida (and Sea World)

This weekend, the Bates traveled down to Florida for a mini vacation. They visited with Alyssa and John Webster, celebrated Allie Jane Webster's third birthday, and showered not-yet-two-week-old Zoey Joy Webster with lots of love. Some of the family members also visited Sea World.

  5. Florida (and SeaWorld)??? SeaWorld is in Florida. The correct way of saying it is Florida (including SeaWorld)

  6. Alyssa is super mom, she looks amazing, such a sweet family. Gil and Kelly raised such loving family, all their children are wonderful, such true souls, they are inspiring.

  7. Why is Alyssa super Mom? “Super Mom” seems to enjoy her trips to Disney World and Sea World without her children. Thats not so super-duper if you’re her children.

    1. So a mother needs to be with her children 24/7? Alyssa lives near those destinations, it's not like she's leaving them for a week.

    2. Believe it or not young children CAN handle being away from mama for a few hours.They don't have to be glued to the hip 24/7.

    3. Since when is a mom not allowed to have a half-day away from the children? Lots of moms spend 10 hour days Mon to Fri away from the kids. Lots of kids love spending time with grandparents and aunts and uncles. Maybe you don't realize Alyssa lives in Florida and you think she is on a plane and gone for a week at a time. Not sure what your point is.

    4. There’s nowhere that I read that John and Alyssa went to sea world either. It clearly states that SOME of the family went to sea world which doesn’t at all indicate that they went. In fact, in all our assuming, they are likely some of the ones that didn’t go....

    5. What planet are you from? And why are they not allowed to go to these places without kids?

  9. Wow! People on here are very judgmental of the family. By one photo they assume a lot of things. Just because someone choosea not to have her kids in one picture doesn't mean she left them behind. My family often does small group shots of siblings and spouses no kids or just the cousins etc. It sure doesn't mean the other members are not around.

  10. If she took those young children to Disney....they wouldn't know where they were......they are to young......they will enjoy It in a few years.❣

    1. Allie Jane sure is old enough. And why do they all have to know exactly where they are? The children ( even the youngest like Lexie) will comprehend its fun! Two adults only trips to these theme parks in the last couple months with Gil and Kelly Jo. All of their children are old enough to “know where they are”, but nope, just Mom and Dad get to go to Disney World and Sea World.

    2. I hear ya@9:04. While it’s healthy for couples to have alone time it does seem very unbalanced.

    3. Disneyworld and SeaWorld are day trips for the Websters. Parents essentially having "date days" twice in two months is far from unbalanced. Many parents have weekly "date nights" and likely spend as much total time away from their kids as Alyssa and John do. It's just that they don't happen to live near major tourist attractions.

      I don't begrudge the two their couple time at all. Especially since some TV footage has shown John and Alyssa being very busy with their jobs and not spending much alone time together.
