Bates Guys Get Muddy

The more mud, the better! Tonight on Bringing Up Bates, the Bates guys get together to celebrate Zach's 30th birthday. Between four-wheeling and skeet shooting, it's a dream of a birthday party for these fun-loving men. But mama bear Kelly Bates is worried for their safety. "Our boys are very adventurous, very competitive," she says. "When you get all of that energy behind the wheel of any type of vehicle, that causes extreme concern for me."

To celebrate Zach’s 30th birthday, the guys hit the road for some bonding time and fun in the mud! But in between four wheeling and skeet shooting, Gil gets news from Kelly Jo that baby Kade is on his way! As Tori works her way through intense labor pains, Kelly Jo and Bobby are by her side, but will the rest of the family make it to the hospital in time, before Kade arrives?

Bates Go Mudding

"The boys were definitely trying to see who could do the most dangerous things and not kill themselves. Nathan was the worst, of course."

-Tori Bates

This week on Bringing Up Bates, the family gets down and dirty on a mud-covered four-wheeling trail. The younger children are thrilled to be able to join the action on their kid-sized ATVs, and the older ones enjoy doing crazy stunts (well, at least the boys do). 

Scroll down to see snapshots and an extended scene.

The show starts at 9pm ET/8pm CT tomorrow on UP. In addition to their mudding adventure, the Bates also receive a visit from sister Michael Keilen and her husband, Brandon Keilen. (Click here to watch the Keilens meet Kaci Lynn Bates for the first time.)
