The Morecambe mum showed how she takes her kids to the trampoline park to let loose steam.
Sue uploaded a video of her children happily bouncing away as she watched from the side.
However, the day was not all plain sailing.
Sue decided to treat herself to a hot drink, but accidentally put the wrong ingredient in it instead of sugar.
The mother said: “When I drink my coffee I think it tastes very strange, yes, that’s because I put salt in it instead of sugar #needmyglasses”.
Trampoline jumping isn’t the only way Sue keeps her offspring busy.
The mum recently showed how she took her bumper brood for a weekend in their £40,000 camper while Noel was away on a hen do.

How can the Radfords, a family of 22, afford to live?
As Britain’s largest family, it should come as no surprise that Sue and Noel Radford must have some hefty bills.
Together they have no fewer than 22 children and seven dogs, which often makes some people wonder how they manage their money.
The Radfords support themselves with the proceeds from Noel’s bakery, The Radford Pie Company, which is located near their home.
On them websiteit says: “We have had our own beautiful bakery since 1999 and this is how we manage to support (and feed) our huge and growing family as well as the local people of Heysham and Morecambe.
The family expanded their business to cater to online orders placed across the UK.
The business is a family affair, with Noel at the helm and some of their children helping out.
The older children, who work at least part-time, do not get a free ride because they have to pay a small amount of rent to their parents.
“We elderly people do pay a bit of room and board. Admittedly, it’s not much, but I’m also currently trying to save for my own house.” their daughter Chloe said in a video on the website YouTube channel.
Sue added: “We’ve always said that if you want to buy somewhere, renting is a bit of dead money, so we’d rather you save that money and stay at home a little longer.
“I also believe that they should pay board money if they earn. Our parents always raised us with the fact that we had to pay room and board.”
It is known that Noel and Sue are not dependent on benefits for their large brood and live from their cake shop for their income.
They also revealed that they make money from brand partnerships on social media.
The Radford family star in their own reality TV show 22 Kids and Counting, which has already run for four series.
Brand expert Andy Barr believes Noel and Sue were paid less than £10,000 for each show.
He told the Daily mail: “The typical per-episode compensation will be in the thousands, rather than the tens or hundreds of thousands that people often think is the case with these types of TV shows.
“If they continue to get orders for a fourth or fifth season, they can ask for a higher fee.”
He estimates that the Radfords earn £5,000 per episode.
