Jon and Kate Gosselin came together for the sake of their children Saturday to celebrate the July 4th holiday at their sprawling Wernersville, Penn., home.

In the afternoon, Jon helped Kate picked blueberries from their backyard to make her annual festive dessert, a cake with an American flag insignia, before setting off sparklers with their kids (twins Mady and Cara, 8, and sextuplets Hannah, Leah, Alexis, Collin, Aaden and Joel, 5) at night.

Jon also spent the day riding an ATV and playing with the family's two German shepherds.

The day's festivities were not filmed for the Gosselins' Jon and Kate Plus 8 reality series, as it was announced last month the TLC network has halted production until August to give the family "some time off to regroup."

Look back at other rocky reality TV romances.

It is the family's first holiday since Kate filed for divorce June 22 after 10 years of marriage. Calling their marriage "irretrievably broken," she says she is willing to "negotiate a fair and reasonable" settlement with Jon.

"I'm excited and hurt at the same time," Jon, whose relationship with 23-year-old teacher Deanna Hummel, will not be shown on future episodes, told TLC viewers on the June 22 episode. "I have a new chapter in my life -- I'm only 32 years old."

"While I know it will be hard for them," said Kate of the effect of the separation on their children, "it will be the best and most peaceful for them."

    I wish Jon and Kate the best. I know that sometimes it takes awhile for couples to realize they don't want to be with each other anymore. You People who say it is all Kates fault for pushing jon away, that is a bunch of bs. She may have been a little demanding but she is the type of person who wants things done not just her way but the right way, that is how she is. No one can change who

    It takes two to make or break a marriage. If Kate wanted a divorce what is Jon suppose to do set at home and wait for her to tell him what he can or can't do? If I were Jon, I would keep a low profile due to cameras and news following his every move. I belive his children if not understanding things now will look it up in the future. Kate, I think let it all go to her head, tanning salons

    So Jon, you have a new chapter in your life. What about the new chapter these kids are about to start? Has it ever crossed anyone's mind that enough money has been made on this public display of your family, and it is time to "get real" as Dr Phil says, and raise these children to be just a little more responsible than you seem to be???? Shame on you.

    I love the show, but I think that all of the "fame" went to Jon's head. If they weren't famous from the show, he would justbe a dad and nothing more. Sad, really that the kids have to go thru a public divorce and hear all of these comments about their parents at school and stuff. Divorce is hard enough on kids, but to have to deal with other people offering their

    I am sorry but I have to disagree with some of these comments. I don't blame Jon at all. I know if I acted the way that Kate did, I wouldn't blame the father of my kids for wanting to go out and have some fun and even cheating on me. I think Kate brought this on herself. Jon and Kate will deal with this and the kids will be fine. Just wait and see. It stinks that fame did this to t

    In my opinion, Jon is a dog. His children should be his priorities right now. He is more concerned about himself than his kids. Before he jumpped to a new relationship, both of them should take some time off and think about the whole mess they have created. They both make me sick.
