Kate Plus 8

Mady and Cara tackle the waves by taking a surf lesson, but will Kate join in on the fun? Later the Gosselin family head out to sea for some good deep sea fishing, but will the waters cause everyone to be too sick to fish?

The Gosselin kids are ready to head back to school and this year the sextuplets are going to kindergarten. They gather all of the needed supplies like uniforms and tennis shoes and even get back to school hair cuts.

Kate and the kids are traveling eight hours to Alaska - their longest trip ever. The Gosselins set out to see huge snow-covered mountains, bright white glaciers and pan for gold, but the excitement builds when they head out to sea in search of whales. (This episode is a prequel to a cross-over in the "Alaskan Hospitality" episode of Sarah Palin's Alaska, which was seen the following month).

It's Halloween at the Gosselin household and the kids are more excited than ever. See Kate and the kids pick out costumes, go to the pumpkin patch, and explore their spooked out basement. Kate has one more surprise in store sure to be a scream.
