This season will chronicle the lives of the eight Gosselin children and their family as they go on outings and tackle daily challenges and adventures. It will also document Kate's journey as a newly single mother raising 5 year-old sextuplets and 8 year-old twins.

The Gosselin kids round out the final days of summer with fun activities, while Kate gets ready to tackle another school year. With Cara and Mady entering 8th grade, and Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah and Joel entering 4th grade, the kids prepare for new teachers and hobbies, while balancing their time between friends and siblings.

School's out for the summer, and Kate has some surprise activities planned for the kids including a family beach trip to Florida. Kate also gets back in the dating game, but not without checking in with the kids first. Cara and Mady are high-school bound, so Kate worries the girls might be losing interest in her big summer plans. Despite their growing pains, the family continues to support each other every step of the way.
