Kate Plus 8

School is out and the Gosselin’s are heading to Florida for some beach time! The kids enjoy the waves, and Kate cooks the family a traditional Korean BBQ dinner and talks heritage.

Kate and some of the kids try deep sea fishing again, but sea sickness takes over. Mady and Cara look up recipes to cook the family a healthy dinner, and the little kids have a blast at their first trip to a waterpark!

Mady is growing up and developing her own interests, so Kate takes her antiquing to find some vintage deals. The whole family takes a trip to to watch an animal show, and the kids compete in a culinary cook off with Kate as judge.

Summer projects are in full force and the Gosselin's take on landscaping. Despite complaints, gator rides and hard work ensue, then the family takes time for lemonade, yoga and unexpected burial.

Kate’s dream of building a new deck finally comes true, and the family throws a huge deck party! Kate takes the boys to learn magic tricks and then enjoys a spa day with her girls.

As summer comes to an end, the family prepares for the kids to go back to school. Kate takes the kids shopping and they all work together on one more summer project.

Deana sets Kate up on a blind date, and she heads to the Big Apple. The night includes a fancy dinner, good conversation and an exciting helicopter ride. With Kate away, Mady and Cara help keep the little kids busy at home.

Kate watches clips from previous seasons and her old, wiser self gives advice to her younger, less experienced self. She shares behind the scenes info, talks overreactions and tells all about those cringe-worthy moments.
