The Counting On alum uploaded a nearly 23-minute video and filmed young brother James Duggar, 22, speaking with her husband, Austin Forsyth, 29.
Jason Duggar, 23, recently revealed he left his Arkansas home for some relaxation in the sunny Florida beach.
As the foamy waves swept onto the surf in the snapshot, Jason added the caption: “Florida sunset.”
Jessa Duggar, 30, took to Instagram and posed with her husband, Ben Seewald, 28.
With the beach in the background, Jessa showed off her baby bump as Ben had his hand on her belly.
THE BACKLASH
In an online thread, critics blasted the famous Duggar members for their toxic behavior after realizing Jill, 32, and Jinger, 29, were missing.
One critic said: “This is some toxic behavior. All the participants here are a**holes if Jinger and Jill were not invited.”
A second critic claimed: “This is what cults do. Circle the wagons and reassure each other that they are right.”

A third critic assumed: “I could see Jill being at a point on her therapeutic journey where she would actively choose to turn down an invite to a family trip for the sake of her mental well-being and to maintain firm boundaries.”
A fourth person wrote: “I’ll bet this was a big F-U from Bob to his ‘Jezebel’ daughters.”
A commentator chimed: “Maybe Jim Bob lied and said he invited them.
“I think that as time goes on, more of them are rejecting Jim Bob and Michelle’s ridiculous dress codes. Jinger and Jill paved the way.
MUST-READ BOOKS
The 19 Kids and Counting alums were seemingly snubbed from the family event after they spoke up against her upbringing in her latest books.
At the end of January, Jinger opened up about her restrictive upbringing in her tell-all memoir Becoming Free Indeed and how she distanced herself from her ultra-conservative parents.
Her estranged parents, Jim Bob, 58, and Michelle, 57, became the subjects of a bombshell Amazon documentary, Shiny Happy People, in which her sibling Jill exposed the controversial IBLP church.
Jinger – who left the church in 2017 – is in talks for the second season of Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets.
In mid-September, Jill talked about the stern dress code implemented by her parents and other scandals in the memoir, Counting the Cost.
Jill took a stance against her parent’s various conservative rules – from wearing clothing deemed immodest to getting a nose ring – and recounted tense moments between the Duggar Patriatch and her husband, Derick Dillard, 34.
