0:00:19 > 0:00:20Welcome to Gimme A Break,
0:00:20 > 0:00:23the show where the kids take control of the family holiday.
0:00:23 > 0:00:27The kids have all the say, they decide where they go,
0:00:27 > 0:00:29what activities they do and, most importantly,
0:00:29 > 0:00:31they are in charge of the holiday rules.
0:00:33 > 0:00:38This week's lucky family are not the Royal family,
0:00:38 > 0:00:41it's the McKinnon family.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Tennis-mad Mum,
0:00:43 > 0:00:45rugby-nut Dad,
0:00:45 > 0:00:47swimmer Sam
0:00:47 > 0:00:49and animal-crazy Josh.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Why do Josh and Sam need to be given a break?
0:00:53 > 0:00:57On a family holiday we usually go camping, yes.
0:00:57 > 0:01:03I think our last maybe ten family holidays have been camping.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05When we get to the camp site,
0:01:05 > 0:01:09it's usually down to me and Mark to do all the work and get the tent up.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12They tried to set a world record putting the tent up.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Ooh, I think our all-time record must be about...
0:01:15 > 0:01:16Some 60 minutes now, isn't it?
0:01:18 > 0:01:20How sad is that.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23When we go camping, there is one sound we always hear...
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Rain.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31- We've had more sunny ones than rainy ones...- Are you sure?
0:01:31 > 0:01:34In a sleeping bag, it feels like you're in a slimy slug. Urgh.
0:01:34 > 0:01:40We always go to see a lovely view.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43I would go a long way for a good view.
0:01:43 > 0:01:49And eat lunch in a lovely picnic site - OK, a car.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53And all we can see is the rain and the grey sea.
0:01:55 > 0:02:01Nice view of, let's see, rain and even more rain.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Dad always snores when we go on holiday.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06I hotly contest that I snore... that loudly.
0:02:07 > 0:02:13And he once ate a can of baked beans and he went snore, trump, snore...
0:02:13 > 0:02:17I don't eat baked beans, Josh is the baked-bean eater. Talk to him.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20SNORES AND BLOWS RASPBERRIES
0:02:26 > 0:02:28This is the part of the show that I love.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30You've clearly got family problems,
0:02:30 > 0:02:32therefore there's only one way to solve them.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35That's with the parents' promise. Boys, are you ready?
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- Yes!- Mum and Dad, on your feet,
0:02:38 > 0:02:42because the family holiday shall be yours no longer.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46Hands on hearts, read out the parents' promise.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49We, the parents of Sam and Josh,
0:02:49 > 0:02:53hereby hand over control of the next family break.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- What do you think to that? - That's brilliant.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00- Looking forward to taking control? - Yes.- Because it's all yours.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Mum and Dad, unlucky.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03Boys, let's go and chat.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07Come on, you two, we don't want Mum and Dad hearing us, do we?
0:03:07 > 0:03:08I'm loving the fact
0:03:08 > 0:03:11that there's a picnic rug in the back of your car,
0:03:11 > 0:03:12but you know car picnics?
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Forget about them, because those are holidays from the past.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17I'll find you the perfect break
0:03:17 > 0:03:20but I need to know what you're after, so give me ideas.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- Lots of adventure.- What sort of activities do you fancy?
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Like sort of climbing,
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- some kind of water sports. - Assault courses.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31How would your mum and dad cope with that?
0:03:31 > 0:03:34They'd probably be panting by the end.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36OK, what about animals?
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Hundred per cent there has to be animals.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42Animals definitely. Camping, you're not a fan, you don't want to be
0:03:42 > 0:03:45covered in rain and walking three miles to the toilet,
0:03:45 > 0:03:48but, most importantly, lots of adventure and a real good laugh.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51The boys are one step closer to their dream break,
0:03:51 > 0:03:52but I won't make it easy.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55First, they've got to guess the holidays
0:03:55 > 0:03:57by cracking our comedy clues.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01Let the guessing begin. It's break number one.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07Angel and a boat. What do angel and a boat put together make?
0:04:07 > 0:04:10I think we're going on a cruise or something,
0:04:10 > 0:04:13or maybe a barge or a ferry to get to the holiday.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15That's a boat... A monkey.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23A flag, maybe go-karting, something like that.
0:04:23 > 0:04:28Oh, a monkey, he's got a sleeping bag.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29Camping.
0:04:29 > 0:04:30Got one.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34How do you fancy monkeying around on this break?
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Climb trees like monkeys.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39For mystery break number two,
0:04:39 > 0:04:43the boys are heading deep into the wilderness.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45They look like moose prints.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49Footprints, the moose sign,
0:04:49 > 0:04:53it means there's a moose nearby.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57There's one here as well.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02If you go down to the woods today, you'll Abba lovely holiday.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06- Abba are a band. Where are they from again?- I've forgotten.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07Swede.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10There's a den on the side.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- Sweden.- Oh, Sweden!
0:05:16 > 0:05:18And for the final break, number three,
0:05:18 > 0:05:21the boys are tracking down something smelly.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25- "Danger animal savages".- Cool hat.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29That means animal in French. Something to do with the jungle.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31LION GROWLS
0:05:32 > 0:05:35The next clue. "Mangez moy".
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Mangez moy?!
0:05:40 > 0:05:46Goats have beards of some sort and this looks like goat's cheese.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49I wonder if the holiday is going to smell this bad.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Look here's a sign. It says "Le fin".
0:05:53 > 0:05:56"Fin" means finish. This holiday's definitely in France.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02OK, the guessing is over, time to reveal the three holidays
0:06:02 > 0:06:04and find out if the boys were right.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Are you ready to be told what break number one is?
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- Yes.- OK, now based on the clues, what do think it could be?
0:06:12 > 0:06:16We're going to be at an adventure place,
0:06:16 > 0:06:19climb up trees, because monkeys climb.
0:06:19 > 0:06:25OK, I can tell you it is Tree-top Adventure Living.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Have a look at this.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32On this break in France, you'll stay in your very own tree house
0:06:32 > 0:06:35and, after monkeying around on the high ropes,
0:06:35 > 0:06:38you'll be ready to race on the go-karting track.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Oh, and get friendly with animals at a nearby zoo.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44That's great number one, first impressions?
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- Awesome.- Break number two has a lot to live up to.
0:06:47 > 0:06:54Break number two is an escape to the wilds of Sweden.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Yeah, OK, let's have a look.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Kayaking along crystal streams
0:06:58 > 0:07:02you'll go back to nature, tracking elks and beavers in the wild.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05You'll be sleeping in the forest but you won't get cold,
0:07:05 > 0:07:09you'll have your very own outdoor sauna.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11- What do you think?- Cool.- Marks out of ten for number two?
0:07:11 > 0:07:13I'd say ten.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18OK, break number three, based on the clues, what do you think it is?
0:07:18 > 0:07:21French in France, with goats.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Something French in France. What made you think about goats?
0:07:25 > 0:07:32- Because of the goat's cheese. - OK, this is safari-lodge living in France.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37Yes, it's true, boys, a safari park in France.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40You'll wake up with wallabies wandering in your garden
0:07:40 > 0:07:43and you'll learn to teach an old rhino new tricks.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46There's quad biking for adrenaline lovers
0:07:46 > 0:07:49and the chance to get cheesy down on the farm.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Three brilliant breaks, which are you most excited about?
0:07:52 > 0:07:54What's really got you excited?
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- First one.- I like the Sweden, and I like the first one,
0:07:57 > 0:07:58and I like the...
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Boys, you have got to make decision. Have a chat.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06With Sam set on the tree house and Josh mad for the animals,
0:08:06 > 0:08:08picking this break is tough.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12OK, you want to go and stay in the tree-top houses, you'd like to go
0:08:12 > 0:08:17- on the safari in France and you want me to flip the coin to decide?- Yeah.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- OK, cool. So, tails.- Three.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Break number three and heads is break number one. OK.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27It's going to be three, I bet you.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- It's definitely one. - OK, lift it up, lift it up.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32It is break number one.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36Congratulations, you are going to go and live among the tree tops.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Are you going to have a great time?
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- Yes.- You've got more big decisions to make on the holiday,
0:08:42 > 0:08:45because at the very end of the break, OK,
0:08:45 > 0:08:51I am going to give you the chance to play for one last amazing treat.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54You've got to get the questions I set you right.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56If you get them wrong,
0:08:56 > 0:08:58your mum and dad win the treat.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00You'll find out more at the end of the holiday.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Gentleman, it's been great picking a break with you.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- You take care, have a good time. Bye.- Bye.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14So, the McKinnon family are off to a tree house in sunny France.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17How will Mum cope with the high-rope adventures?
0:09:17 > 0:09:19How will Dad get on without his tent?
0:09:19 > 0:09:22And who will succeed to win the dream treat?
0:09:27 > 0:09:30They leave tomorrow, but for the boys the fun begins now.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33They're in charge of Mum and Dad's packing.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39These are going to be important for Dad.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40They could put in something
0:09:40 > 0:09:42unsuitable like a ball gown or something,
0:09:42 > 0:09:45which I wouldn't normally take on holiday.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Do you think this suits me?
0:09:47 > 0:09:49I'm not sure about the polka dots.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53These are 11 to 12 years. I think my dad's fatter than that.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Stuff that polar bear in.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Mission accomplished.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06The holiday starts here and so we catch all the special moments,
0:10:06 > 0:10:08we've given the boys a Gimme a Break famcam.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12This is Mum and Dad just putting the bags in the car.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Dad is being our loader and Mum is the carrier.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20And these are the white cliffs of Dover.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23We're coming into the ferryport.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27Remember, Mum and Dad still know nothing about the holiday.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Bye-bye, white cliffs.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Bye, the white cliffs of Dover.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34I think its time for Sam to reveal a little clue.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37The moment you've all been waiting for. Have you guessed yet?
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Sort of.
0:10:39 > 0:10:44- Some ideas, we left from Dover.- And we're on a ferry and here's Calais.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46We're going to France.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47BOTH: Yay!
0:10:49 > 0:10:52So, they know its France and, let's be honest,
0:10:52 > 0:10:55all dads are know-alls, so, Dad, what do you think you'll be doing?
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Camping!
0:10:59 > 0:11:04They haven't a clue where we're going. They still think it's a tent.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08This is so much better than a tent.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Are you ready to see where we're going to stay?
0:11:11 > 0:11:15- Up one.- Where?- Be careful because there's a bit of a gap.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19Steps, I can feel, spiral staircase.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Keep going, Mummy, you're almost there.
0:11:23 > 0:11:24You've done it!
0:11:24 > 0:11:25Nice.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Toilet!
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- OK, people, do you want to find out where we're staying?- Yes.
0:11:35 > 0:11:36Please!
0:11:36 > 0:11:37OK, ready?
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Get ready!
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Oh, a tree house.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Now, I never would have guessed that.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54Does the teddy bear mean that's the children and do the hearts mean it's a love nest?
0:11:54 > 0:11:57- Come and look at your room, people. - Is this where we're going to be?
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- It's like Swiss Family Robinson, isn't it?- It is.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02We didn't expect anything like this.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05When we got here, we were convinced we were in a tent.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Dad, look, our loo's a bit more posh that your loo,
0:12:07 > 0:12:09it's got more space than yours.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11For bigger smells.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13This will be really exciting, different.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16BOTH: Awesome.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19So, the boys and Mum and Dad like their tree house,
0:12:19 > 0:12:21but will they like what's in their bags?
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Oh, very helpful.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Oh, look, I've got a polar bear wearing a tie.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31There are items of underwear that are very questionable.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34A pair of Sam's undies, very nice.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Got my nice pink spotty dressing gown.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39They might have been led by what they've seen me wearing
0:12:39 > 0:12:42around the house, thinking they are my favourite clothes
0:12:42 > 0:12:45instead of thinking what I might wear outside.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49Oh, a T-shirt I usually wear around the house to do the cleaning in.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52I think I've forgot my dad's shorts, whoops.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55This is it, Joshie, this what I've got to wear?
0:12:55 > 0:12:57That's all it is?
0:12:57 > 0:13:00I'm going to say eight out of ten and two points off,
0:13:00 > 0:13:02because he's forgot shorts.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Overall, I'm going to give you eight out of ten.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Yay!
0:13:08 > 0:13:10I think packing went pretty well.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Time to lay down some ground rules.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15- Hi there, McKinnons.- Hi.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16OK, time for the holiday rules.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Here's rule number one.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22Mum and Dad, lying in is out, because Sam and Josh
0:13:22 > 0:13:25will decide what time everyone gets up on this break.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27This could be bad.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29- Very bad.- Well, not really bad, Mum.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Just probably quite early.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34OK, ready for rule number two?
0:13:34 > 0:13:38Now, Mum, I've heard a lot about your tidying obsession.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42You may love a nice clean and tidy house, but the boys don't,
0:13:42 > 0:13:46so rule number two, no tidying the tree house.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Do I have servants to do it for me instead?
0:13:48 > 0:13:52If you tidy the tree house, there will be a penalty.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56Dad, I know you're an adventure guy, you love getting stuck in,
0:13:56 > 0:13:57but you don't like cold water.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01- Very true. - So, rule number three is that you,
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Dad, must take a cold-water dip at least once during the break.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Hmm, a challenge - a challenge, but I can meet it.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Good luck, Dad, and no wet suits.
0:14:09 > 0:14:14- What? That's not fair!- What do you think those trunks were for?
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Enjoy the rules, enjoy the break
0:14:16 > 0:14:19and just when you think the fun's all over, I'll be back
0:14:19 > 0:14:23at the end to give you the chance to play for one last amazing treat.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Have a fantastic time.
0:14:27 > 0:14:32Nice work, boys, no doubt who's in charge now, hey?
0:14:34 > 0:14:40As the family bed down for the night, a cunning plan is hatching.
0:14:40 > 0:14:46It's our first night in the tree house. I'm really excited.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53If you need to go to the loo in the night,
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Josh is looking forward to going to the loo in the night.
0:14:56 > 0:14:57I'm not.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01We've got a secret plan to go up in the morning,
0:15:01 > 0:15:05karate chop their bed, wake them up and make them do 50 press-ups.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Good night, famcam.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11COCK CROWS
0:15:11 > 0:15:14It's time to get up.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Now, I'm out in the fresh air, I'm more awake.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21Nice view.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Well, Mum's been dragged out of bed
0:15:23 > 0:15:25but Dad is struggling with the rules.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28I'm doing your trick, this is how you behave.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30And that means a penalty.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34Dad has a night in the mini tent.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36So, Dad will face his punishment later.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38The boys have shopping on their minds.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42Why have you brought us here? Are we going to do some nice sensible shopping?
0:15:42 > 0:15:46- Are we going to get some fruit? Fruits over here.- Fruit and veg.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48I'm allergic to that corner.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49What's this?
0:15:49 > 0:15:54Mum keeps trying to take over.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Right, guys, come on, this is...
0:15:57 > 0:15:59This is not healthy food.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03- We're in charge.- We're in charge.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06That'll be another night in the tent for you people.
0:16:06 > 0:16:07Oh, no.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11- Best shopping trip ever!- Done!
0:16:11 > 0:16:16Shopping over, it's back to climbing trees, but now they'll be tackling
0:16:16 > 0:16:20the high-rope-sensation challenge at six metres above the forest floor.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Who has a head for heights?
0:16:22 > 0:16:26Sandy is nervous of heights and this kind of thing, so, yeah,
0:16:26 > 0:16:29but she'll come good. She's conquering her demons.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Sam is first up the ladder,
0:16:31 > 0:16:36Dad is nice and brave and follows closely behind
0:16:36 > 0:16:40and, with Mum watching on nervously, it's onto the tightrope.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Come on, Dad, you're not going to fall.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Josh and Mum follow more nervously behind.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Come on, Mum, you can do it.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00- That's a big gap there, isn't it? - You can make it.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Sam and Dad scale the plank bridge.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Wobbly boards.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08While Mum and Josh get to grips with the tightrope.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12- You're doing really well. - I'm scared of heights.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15The tree house hasn't cured you of heights.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Hopefully, after this, it will.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18I'm never going to fall off.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Very confident, Sam.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Good stuff, well done.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Right, well, that was much easier.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33Time for number three.
0:17:33 > 0:17:38The logs are proving tricky. Even for Dad.
0:17:38 > 0:17:39Strewth!
0:17:39 > 0:17:41My body wasn't made for that one.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Josh's turn on the swinging logs.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47He's got his own very unique style.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50I'm going to stay like this for ever.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52For ever? What about school?
0:17:52 > 0:17:55No, I don't like this one at all.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Next up, the big zip wire.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06- Argh!- Ooh! Are you all right, Sam?
0:18:07 > 0:18:08I've broken my back.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11As long as that's all you've broken.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15The McKinnons have each got their own unique braking technique.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Very nice, Dad.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Not quite so good.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22That was rubbish.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30I tried your braking system, Sam, but it didn't work.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Sam, I thought, was confident from the beginning.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39Josh grew and grew as the activity went on, that was fantastic.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Absolutely awesome.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44I just enjoyed swinging through the trees.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47It's the Tarzan in you!
0:18:47 > 0:18:52And what better way to get back to base than a last, long zip wire.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Why can't I do this every day!
0:18:55 > 0:18:58This is awesome!
0:19:00 > 0:19:03I think Sam's quite enjoying it.
0:19:03 > 0:19:04We did it.
0:19:04 > 0:19:05We're having an awesome time.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07This is the best.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Back at the tree house, it's bedtime.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12That'll be a tent for you then, Dad.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15I've got to spend the night in a tent.
0:19:15 > 0:19:16Probably going to freeze as well.
0:19:16 > 0:19:24Tonight I shall be on my blanket with no padding. Yes, on penalty.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28You should have stuck to the rules, shouldn't you?
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Up in the tree house, the boys get ready.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33It's midnight feast time.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Mm. Bonbons!
0:19:43 > 0:19:48Feeling sorry for Dad, the boys send down a few scraps.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50It's going over.
0:19:50 > 0:19:56- Dad.- What? - Get ready for your midnight feast.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Oh, cool. Oh, yeah.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Got it, Dad?
0:20:02 > 0:20:07- Thanks, guys. Any more? - Night, dad, sorry.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11Rules are rules, Dad. Rules are rules.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Next morning, the boys are in the driving seat
0:20:15 > 0:20:17and karting is their plan.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21And here's the driver line-up. Driver Sam, he's the reckless one.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Josh is pretty steady behind the wheel.
0:20:24 > 0:20:30Also racing today, competitive Dad and the secret speed-demon, Mum.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Sandy's very competitive when she gets behind the wheel.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Today I'm behind the wheel and anything could happen.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40I'll either come first, which I probably won't, or I'll come last.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Of course you want to win, but, yeah, we'll just have some fun.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49And it's go, go, go!
0:20:49 > 0:20:54And just as the two boys wanted, it's nonstop action on the track.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57If this was a race with Jeremy Clarkson, he'd be losing.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00I'm doing well bad,
0:21:00 > 0:21:01a bit fast.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05While Josh is worried about his speed,
0:21:05 > 0:21:08- Sam doesn't seem to have any fear.- I just love it.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12Sam's the one you've got to watch, keeps bumping into people.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16Suddenly Josh comes in from nowhere and clips Sam...
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Oh, Josh.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20and takes the lead.
0:21:20 > 0:21:21Oh, Josh.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24I don't know if he's coming uup behind me,
0:21:24 > 0:21:26all I know is I'm on full throttle.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Sam is so busy listening to his engine
0:21:32 > 0:21:34he's not watching for his brother
0:21:34 > 0:21:37and he slams him into the tyre wall.
0:21:37 > 0:21:38I think that's one all.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Meanwhile, Mum just wants to beat Dad.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46It's getting a bit edgy now.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51It's really sad when you want to beat your husband, isn't it?
0:21:51 > 0:21:55And then all too soon it's over and it is Mum
0:21:55 > 0:21:58who's first past the chequered flag.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04That was awesome.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Sam had a lot of style spinning off in the track,
0:22:07 > 0:22:09so Sam gets a ten for style.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12All I did was drive round the track at high speeds.
0:22:12 > 0:22:17I did hit Josh once when I came round a turn, I didn't mean to, honest,
0:22:17 > 0:22:20I just cut the corner a bit.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28And after all that action, what better way to unwind
0:22:28 > 0:22:31than a serene trip round the lake by pedalo.
0:22:31 > 0:22:32Come on, pedal.
0:22:32 > 0:22:38Now, rule number three is that Dad has to have a cold-water dip.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40We're learner drivers. We need to change!
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Time for Dad's cold dip.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Don't tell me this is it!
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Push him in, that's not a cold-water dip.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54Cold dip for Dad.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Unsurprisingly, Dad dried off pretty quickly
0:22:57 > 0:23:00and now the McKinnons are off to the zoo.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02There's you! It's hairy!
0:23:02 > 0:23:03He's on the go.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05This is how to do high ropes properly.
0:23:05 > 0:23:06There he goes.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10This family love their animals.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14They've got their pet guinea pigs after all,
0:23:14 > 0:23:17but today they'll be meeting something a little bigger.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Elephant!
0:23:21 > 0:23:23How cool are they!
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Do you want to see them closer?
0:23:26 > 0:23:31- Do you want to come in and see them closer?- Yeah.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33OK, the elephants.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36You can give them an apple.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40- It's like having a Hoover. - Josh helps out with a pedicure.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44It was really fun washing the elephant's feet and feeding.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47You actually get to get up close and personal
0:23:47 > 0:23:50with things you've never been able to do before. Never.
0:23:57 > 0:23:58You see that huge trunk,
0:23:58 > 0:24:01but when she actually picks it up she's very delicate.
0:24:01 > 0:24:02You hardly feel it.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04It just blows warm air and then it sniffs
0:24:04 > 0:24:07and just sucks it off your hand, it's really fun.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09ELEPHANT TRUMPETS
0:24:13 > 0:24:15It's good fun, I like it.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20I like the throwing action, it's brilliant.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22I gave the high ropes nine and a half,
0:24:22 > 0:24:24I gave the go-karts nine and a half,
0:24:24 > 0:24:27and this one is 9.9.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31This is just amazing. It doesn't get much better than this.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35This holiday is not over yet.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38White-water rafting is the final treat,
0:24:38 > 0:24:41but who will be racing down the rapids?
0:24:41 > 0:24:44OK, boys, this is the last part of the trip,
0:24:44 > 0:24:47where you get the chance to play for a fantastic treat.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49I am about to ask you three questions,
0:24:49 > 0:24:51get two right and you win the treat.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Get two wrong, and your parents will
0:24:53 > 0:24:56be going down the white-water rapids.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57OK, question one.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01What did your mum say was the best thing about the high ropes?
0:25:01 > 0:25:02Did she say:
0:25:08 > 0:25:09I think it was B.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12I think it was A.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14- I'm sure it was B.- A.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Come on, boys, make-your-mind-up time.
0:25:16 > 0:25:17A or B?
0:25:17 > 0:25:18B.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Here's what your mum said.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25It wasn't really the activity I would have chosen but
0:25:25 > 0:25:28it was great being with the family and having fun with the boys.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Yes.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34Question two. What did your mum and dad think they were staying in?
0:25:40 > 0:25:41Definitely A.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45Are you sure, because they did see some houseboats, didn't they?
0:25:45 > 0:25:50They definitely said they were going to stay in a caravan.
0:25:50 > 0:25:56OK, boys, get this one wrong and it goes down to the final question.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- Harsh.- Jake, our answer's A.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02OK, you're saying A, a caravan.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Here's what your mum and dad said.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08- Once we saw the river...- Houseboat sort of became a possibility.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11- No.- Oh, boys.
0:26:11 > 0:26:16OK, boys, it all comes down to question number three.
0:26:16 > 0:26:21On future McKinnon holidays, where did your mum and dad say they'd like to stay?
0:26:28 > 0:26:34- Definitely A.- They're saying no to A because A is correct.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Jake, our answer is A.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39OK, boys, it's the moment of truth.
0:26:39 > 0:26:44Get the answer wrong and it's your parents who go white-water rafting.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Let's see what your mum and dad said.
0:26:46 > 0:26:51Could be a toughy that one, good old traditional tent.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Mind you, the tree house was pretty special, wasn't it?
0:26:54 > 0:26:58- It was, it was, the tree house.- It's got to be the tree house.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Well done, boys, you won the treat, go and enjoy the rapids.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Yes!
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Better luck next time, people. Better luck next time.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34Sam's going to be in the water in a minute. You can tell.
0:27:34 > 0:27:35Don't fall in, Sam!
0:27:35 > 0:27:37I am!
0:27:42 > 0:27:44My favourite things were high ropes,
0:27:44 > 0:27:46go-karts, elephants, and white-water rafting.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49- The zoo.- Being kissed by a sealion. How can you compare with that?
0:27:49 > 0:27:52My favourite thing about the holiday was the zoo.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55We did stuff that we don't usually do.
