Sue and Noel, who head up Britain's largest family with 22 children ranging from several months to their 30s, have been married since September 1992. They feature alongside their large brood on the Channel 5 reality show 22 Kids and Counting.
Over the summer holidays, the couple took off to America with a few of their kids, keeping fans in the loop with social media updates. They visited attractions like Universal Studios, as reported by Mail Online, who mentioned the family were given complimentary access, reports the Mirror.
Sue captured memories of the visit on her Instagram account: "We had such a brilliant day @universalorlando last week we absolutely love this place so much, we even got on Hagrid which is hands down the best ride ever."
Photos showed the family relishing the theme park's rides, indulging in ice creams, watching shows and parades, and taking pictures around the vast park grounds. There were similar fun moments captured at Disney World, Florida. Followers expressed amazement at the family's holiday adventures, with some pondering about how the parents manage to fund such experiences with lots of children.
One follower commented on the snaps: "How do they afford it? I've got a frigging child and the thought of going there is a dream."
Another shared: "I wish I could afford to do that for my son," adding a crying emoji to their message.
Sue and Noel Radford, known for their large brood, have always prided themselves on running a thriving bakery, which supported their family without relying on benefits. In response to critics of their lifestyle, the dedicated parents shared in their memoir The Radfords: Making Life Count: "We don't claim benefits, the pie company is very successful and so is our media business. We work hard but we're not millionaires. The nastiness is upsetting though. We just want to be able to give our children the best possible life."
Furthermore, in their book, they acknowledged the challenges that come with caring for such a big family, particularly the lack of personal time.
Sue revealed: "I am sure there must be couples who are able to ring each other up during the day to discuss various things about their kids, Noel and I don't really speak when he's at work and I'm at home- because we never have the time."
