Jon & Kate Plus 8

The Gosselin family takes a trip to the Pittsburgh Zoo for the day, where they get a special behind-the-scenes tour of the exhibits. The entire family is amazed that they have the rare opportunity to feed giraffes, pet a penguin and hug an alligator.

Now that the twins have started first grade, Kate is home alone all day with just the sextuplets. A glimpse of their daily routine makes it clear that there's no such thing as a boring day in the Gosselin house.

While the twins are in school, Jon and Kate prepare for the girls' 7th birthday party which includes a special dinner out and family celebration at home. Watch as they manage the stress of catering to two unique personalities on their shared birthday.

Kate begins looking for a well-qualified nanny to take care of her 3-year-old sextuplets and 7-year-old twins. While Jon stays home with all the kids, Kate hopes that after a day of interviewing she will be able to find the perfect nanny.

With winter approaching, Kate struggles to find room in the house for the kids to play. After a well-thought-out shopping trip and some help from handyman Jon, Kate reorganizes the entire house to give the kids more space to play.

The Gosselin family gets a new formal picture taken with a photographer who has shot the family since the babies were 6 weeks old. No matter who the photographer is, it's never easy to get a perfect picture with eight kids who don't want to sit still.

Jon really doesn't care for the way Kate dresses, so he takes her out for some new clothes. While the kids are home with a babysitter, Jon and Kate make an un-ordinary date out of an ordinary chore.

How do Jon and Kate manage Christmas with eight kids? Their holiday season begins with Christmas caroling! After baking cookies together as a family, all 10 Gosselins get dressed up in their holiday outfits and visit special friends who have helped them.

Jon and Kate get an invitation to Park City, Utah, for a skiing and snowboarding vacation, but packing up a family of 10 for a winter vacation takes serious planning, especially since they will all be flying.

The Gosselin family is hitting the slopes! This winter, the family will travel to Park City, Utah, for their very first ski vacation, where there's ski school for the eight adorable kids, snowboarding for Dad and spa treatments for Mom.

The volume is turning up for Jon and Kate as Cara learns how to play the piano and Mady learns to play the violin. The twins work in unison and put their parents' ears to the test as they practice for a special concert for the family.

Since both Mady and Cara love helping Kate in the kitchen, Kate signs them up for cooking classes. Kate chooses the wrong week to let them try out their new skills at home, however, because most of the family is sick with the flu.

Jon and Kate hope to one day move out of their current home into a house that is large enough for them to live in forever. So, in an effort to increase their current home's value, they decided to re-carpet most of the house in just one week.

It's a day of love in the Gosselin house. Kate decorates the house the night before Valentine's Day so that the kids have surprises waiting for them when they first wake up. Then throughout the day, surprises await every family member.

Winter time is not fun when you have eight kids in a cramped house looking for things to do. In an effort to get everyone out of the house doing something fun, they take all the kids to visit the Crayola Factory, where they learn how Crayons are made.

Jon and Kate take Leah to Bounce U, a place where she can tumble and jump and fall down as much as she wants. Then, Jon takes Joel to Hands-on House, an interactive museum where he gets to spend the day asking Dad all the questions he wants!

Jon and Kate take Hannah for a horseback riding lesson, and Jon takes Aaden to a dairy farm, where he gets to see where milk comes from and even gets to pet a calf!

Jon and Kate take Alexis to a reptile museum, where she gets to spend time with and pet real live alligators -- her favorite! Then, Jon takes Collin, who is fascinated by trains, to the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania.

Cara chooses to get new Rollerblades and go skating with Daddy at a local skating rink. Will Kate join them in the fun or just watch the two of them from the sidelines?

Mady chooses to get her ears pierced, and then she wants to have a lunch alone with Mom and Dad. Will Mady get nervous and back out? Or will she rise to the occasion and bravely sit to get her special earrings?

Mady and Cara narrate this one, and they show all the different fun games the family plays together. Including "Pre-School" with Mady and Cara as teachers, "Duck Duck Goose" and "Hide and Seek," the Gosselin house has never been so much fun.

Exceptionally organized Kate has created a "Ways to Help Mommy" chart that illustrates how each member of the family can help get the many jobs around the house done. Also, the family uses what they learned from Sara Snow.

Mady and Cara are organizing a family fashion show that will showcase each Gosselin's individual personality. Also, we enroll in a Gosselin Fashion History course, exploring the morphing fashions of Kate Gosselin!

After treating each of their children to a special day, Jon and Kate decide to take a special day together for themselves. The day starts with teeth whitening for both of them and ends with a romantic dinner for two at a delicious organic restaurant!

Now that the little kids are getting older, Jon and Kate decide to try an all-day trip for the whole family! With a full day of activities planned, how will the family hold up?
