Amid all of the wedding planning, Kelly Jo decided she needed to get away for a little bit. So, the mom of 19 took three of her kids on a short getaway.

In a new Instagram post, Kelly Jo shared a few photos of herself and her daughters as they took on the Grand Canyon. In her caption, she writes, “With two weddings to plan, my calendar is a little crazy, so I took advantage of some airline points we had accumulated and decided to have a short girl’s trip with Addee, Ellie, & Callie to the Grand Canyon and Sedona to spend some time together before the schedule gets even busier!

Then, she adds, “This was the girl’s first time here, and they were absolutely in awe of God’s majesty in His Creation! Pictures just don’t do the Canyon justice!”

How does Kelly Jo Bates choose which kids to take on a trip?

Fans do have one question though. They want to know how Kelly Jo decided which of her kids to bring along on the trip. One fan wonders if the other kids get angry or jealous when their siblings get to go somewhere and they don’t.

In response, Kelly Jo simply says they “take turns.” So, this time it was Addee, Ellie, and Callie’s turn to go on a fun trip. Maybe another getaway is right around the corner for another group of Bates kids.
