The Bates family loves spending time in Gatlinburg! They were there this weekend for a short family getaway. If you look closely at the family photo, you'll see Katie's friend Travis.

  1. I’ve counted and recounted, but I think there’s 2 people missing in the pic.... because with Chaney and Travis they should be 40, correct? And I only counted 38. Who’s missing? Jackson? And who else? Perhaps I still miscounted...🤔

    1. Two missing...Looks like one of the Bates 19 kids is missing, and Everly or Carson is missing (can't tell if it's Everly or Carson on top of Chad's shoulders).

    2. I don’t see Chad, but maybe he is taking the picture.

    6. Carson is in the right half of the photo, between Whitney and Tori.
      I think Brooklyn's missing, because the girl on Chad's shoulders with her darker hair looks like Everly!

  2. MO- Cute picture of Callie and Jeb- nice to see the younger children. Love the expression on Willow's face! Chaney and Travis had to travel a long way for just a weekend get-away. Maybe Trace should find a job in Texas so he can get to know Chaney better. But then again, there's the show... :o)

  3. Its looks like Carlin is expecting! You do that naturally when a baby is on the way, hold your belly. It's cool to see a family picture not perfect, with all the filters and photo shopping out there. It must have been windy!

  8. How wonderful to always include the new boyfriends/girlfriends. A great way to really get to know someone, and make them feel important/included in the family.
