Kelly Bates, Warden Bates, Gil Bates
How did your family celebrate Father's Day? As the father of 19, father-in-law of seven, and grandfather of 14, Gil Bates receives numerous well-wishes every year. You have probably sensed this from watching
Bringing Up Bates, but his family absolutely adores him.
The Bates had two other reasons to celebrate this weekend. Two days before Father's Day marked exactly 32.5 years of marriage for Gil and Kelly Bates, and the day before was Kaci Lynn Bates' 4th birthday.
