Sue Radford has shared a wholesome family update as she prepares for a well-deserved summer break.
The 22 Kids and Counting star, best known as the matriarch of Britain's largest family, took to Instagram on Thursday to announce her exciting plans for the next few weeks.
"Well, that's the kids broke up for the summer holidays!" she captioned her story, which includes a photo of one of her daughters, and two of her sons, seemingly emerging from school. "And with that I'm going to log out for the summer to spend time with our brood."
Sue, whose Youtube Channel 'The Radford Family' documents her and husband Noel's busy lives as parents to 22 children, went on to share some positive vibes with her loyal online followers.
"I hope you have the most amazing summer making memories," she said, before signing off with "Lots of love and see you soon."

As well taking a transatlantic voyage, the brood are also hoping to spend some weekends in their motor home and "do as many days out as we can" before September rolls back around.

"It's been hard work," the baker dad described their previous experience of visiting London as a whole family. "You're not going to enjoy it the same when you've got little people."
