Jon and Kate Plus 8 " All Aboard "

I watched the latest Jon and Kate episode where they went to see Thomas the Tank Train Engine.  I am always in awe to watch Jon and Kate take their 8 kids anywhere.  I am guessing most of these trips are paid for by the Producers of the show, just to get more footage of the family out the house... or maybe by the parks themselves.  Just watching the kids on the trains looking out the windows with big smiles on their face brighten up my day.  Of course there will be people who will criticise Jon and Kate for yelling at the kids throughout the show, but I remember back in the days when my boys were young that I did my share of yelling too.  ( also remember that the camera men are filming for hours to put a 30 to 60 minutes show together and for some reason they like to watch Kate yell. :^D )

Yelling just goes with the terriotry of being a parent and having kids. I love watching Jon and Kate and the kids sit on the big chair like it's their Diary Session of what had happened during the day.  With all the negative feed back lately, I have to say that I love seeing a family on TV that are not acting like they arre perfect and it isn't scripted.  What you see is what you get with the Gosselins and I have loved watching the kids grow up.  I for one am pulling for the family to keep this show going.  As long as they have their Supporters and they are getting the ratings... then they are doing a Great Job.

One more thing...  I would have loved to have had the opportunity to have a show like this on TV back in the 80's when I was raising my sons.  Kudo's to Kate for having all these field trips and numerous craft projects at home.  I loved hearing how they do the Caterpillar project every year for the kids to witness the caterpillars turn into butterflies and then set them free.  The Gosselin children are so lucky to have parents that are teaching them so many fun things to do.
