Kate Gosselin's a TV star, an author, a dancer, but most of all, a mother, as seen in these new pics obtained by Breaking Celebrity News, which showcase the blonde beauty and her adorable clan enjoying the waning days of summer with an outing flying kites on Bald Head Island, North Carolina.

The toned and tan TLC star wore a black skirt as cameramen recorded more footage for her series, Kate Plus 8.

Gosselin, a Dancing With the Stars alum, was all smiles as she helped her little ones hoist their kites into the wind at the shore.
