Kate Gosselin and Family's North Carolina Pool Playtime

Continuing to live it up during a family getaway, Kate Gosselin and her kids were spotted in Bald Head Island, North Carolina on Friday afternoon (August 13).

The TLC reality mom and her adorable brood hit the local pool for a swim, then heading to the local food market - during which time Kate was unusually camera shy as she held a bag up to cover her face from following photogs.

Definitely not lacking when it comes to vacation splurging, a new report from TV Guide tells that Miss Gosselin makes $250,000 per episode of TLC's "Kate Plus 8".

The surprisingly high pay tops proven successful actresses such as Anna Paquin, Julianna Margulies and Selena Gomez, while being on par with "Grey's Anatomy" stud Patrick Dempsey.
