Jon and Kate Plus 8 and Some Alone Time

But Life & Style Weekly notes in a report that on May 30, "the kids got a break from the tension and sadness at home by taking a vacation to the beaches of Bald Head Island in North Carolina. The whole family was there - with one very notable exception: Jon. Kate was left to take care of her 8 year old twins and her 5 year old sextuplets without their dad."


The item adds that despite their missing father, the kids seemed to enjoy some much needed fun in the sun. “They looked so happy and excited to be there,” a fellow beachgoer tells Life & Style. “They spent hours playing.” Even Kate, busy watching her brood, seemed to have a good time. “It looked like she was making a point to play with each of her kids, to give each of them a little private attention,” the beachgoer explains. “She was busy, but she didn’t seem tired - although keeping up after all those kids sure looked exhausting!”

And while Kate’s rumored fling, bodyguard Steve Neild, was with the group and a nanny was there to help, the day was all about the children. “Kate was 100 percent focused on being a mom,” the beachgoer says. “Nothing about her interaction with Steve indicated there was anything romantic between them.”
