Jon & Kate Plus 8 out west

Tonight on John & Kate Plus 2 watch Jon & Kate Plus 8, Kate takes her boys out west, to Wyoming.She even wades into a chicken coop in high heels.

Kate S.: I feel that she's wearing inappropriate shoes on purpose.

John: So she can complain about girly girl moments?

Kate S.: Yes.


Meanwhile, Jon is home with the girls. They are catching bugs. Jon altruistically reminds them that all the bugs and worms should "return to nature" at the end.

Kate is back out west, riding ATVs with th e little guys.

Jon: "Kate is not wearing a helmet. Obama got so much grief, she should get grief."

Kate S.: "I agree."

Kate has changed from heels to boots, with a cowboy hat thrown in. But she belies her obsessive-girly ways by telling the head cowboy that "screaming is like breathing to me."

Meanwhile, there is a gratuitous close-up of horse poop.

John: "Highlight of the trip!"

Jon takes the little girls to the dentist. Now there's a fun job. Leah has two cavities, and Alexis is jealous because she only has one. Jon thinks that's funny.

Kate S.: I love that Jon thinks cavities are 'hilarious.'

Back out west, Kate mentions this trip has been 'paparrazzi-free,' which means "everything in the world." And the boys have adopted a cat who seems to be living in their cowboy hats. Uh-oh, now the cat is running away.
