0:00:22 > 0:00:24Your family holidays knock you out with boredom?
0:00:24 > 0:00:29If so, it's time to kick those kung fu parents into touch and
0:00:29 > 0:00:31chop things up a little bit.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33I'm Joe Swash, this is Gimme A Break,
0:00:33 > 0:00:36the show where you take total control of your family holiday.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43On Gimme A Break it's the kids who decide where to go and what to do.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Parents don't get a look in,
0:00:45 > 0:00:48especially when it comes to the holiday rules.
0:00:48 > 0:00:53Breaking the rules can only lead to one thing - trouble.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Today I'm in Leicestershire
0:00:55 > 0:00:58and the lucky family about to be given a dream break are
0:00:58 > 0:01:00the Trivedis.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Ten year old Cheyan who is a football fanatic,
0:01:04 > 0:01:08eight year old sister Jenna who loves dancing and everything pink,
0:01:08 > 0:01:11serial sofa snoozer Dad,
0:01:11 > 0:01:14and teacher's assistant Mum.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17So why do Cheyan and Jenna deserve to be given a break?
0:01:19 > 0:01:23On holiday mum always constantly takes us sightseeing.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25I think any holiday
0:01:25 > 0:01:27is not a holiday without a bit of sightseeing.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30It's like a basically an educational school trip
0:01:30 > 0:01:31except with our parents.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35Mainly she takes us to like old museums and monuments.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38It's good fun. It's between having a bit of fun and a bit of education.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41I don't want their brains to just switch off like that.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Dad can break the world record of sleeping because
0:01:44 > 0:01:48all he does when we go on holiday is sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52I will admit I'm not quite as active as perhaps they all are.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56Not only is Dad lazy, he's a scaredy cat and he's really scared
0:01:56 > 0:01:58of heights and things like that.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Dad's speciality on holiday is making excuses
0:02:01 > 0:02:02for not going on anything.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05I do sometimes like to sometimes take a back
0:02:05 > 0:02:07seat because I think it's important that the kids shine.
0:02:07 > 0:02:12Sometimes on our holidays Mum forgets to put her make-up on.
0:02:12 > 0:02:17I put my lipliner on, but I forgot to fill it with my lipstick.
0:02:17 > 0:02:18It's just really embarrassing.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Mum and Dad better be prepared
0:02:20 > 0:02:24because this break is going to be nothing like our old family holidays.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31Right, it seems to me that you guys don't see eye to eye
0:02:31 > 0:02:33when it comes to the family holiday.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Oh, yeah, well yeah.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Why do you think you deserve to be given a break?
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Well, this year we missed out on a proper holiday because...
0:02:41 > 0:02:42Because my dad...
0:02:42 > 0:02:46..spent all the holiday money on an extension for the house.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- That's not fair is it?- No.- We need to do something about it don't we?
0:02:49 > 0:02:51- Yeah.- Mum and Dad,
0:02:51 > 0:02:54it's a time that strikes fear into parents' hearts across the country.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58It is the Gimme A Break Parent Promise.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01So, Mum and Dad, could you read this out loud
0:03:01 > 0:03:03with your hands on your hearts please?
0:03:03 > 0:03:05- And we want it to be sincere don't we?- Oh, yeah.
0:03:05 > 0:03:10"We, the parents of Chey and Jenna hereby hand over control
0:03:10 > 0:03:12"of the next family break."
0:03:12 > 0:03:15THEY CHEER
0:03:18 > 0:03:21They seem quite happy, Mum and Dad.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- So guys, we need to discuss what you want from a break.- Yeah.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28Before that, Mum and Dad, I've got the terms and conditions here.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30- Oh, right.- So if you are thinking about breaking
0:03:30 > 0:03:31any of the rules think again.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34As you can see, they're pretty comprehensive.
0:03:34 > 0:03:35Come on guys, let's go.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37- Come on.- Go.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41Get in there. Where am I going to go?
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Right, you're in charge.
0:03:44 > 0:03:49- Yes.- So we'll need to find out what is that you want from a break.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51We want a, like, action packed holiday.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53We don't want to do anything to do with relaxing.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56So what sort of activities interest you?
0:03:56 > 0:03:57I like going to water parks
0:03:57 > 0:03:59and doing water sports and things like that.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01- You're a bit of a water baby?- Yes.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04All right guys, I think I've got a good idea of what you want
0:04:04 > 0:04:06from your break or my name isn't
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Joe "sort us out a dream break" Swash.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11I've listened to what Chey and Jenna have had to say
0:04:11 > 0:04:14and I've put together two belting breaks for them to choose from.
0:04:15 > 0:04:16But first they have to work out
0:04:16 > 0:04:20what's on offer by cracking a selection of cunning clues.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24Let's see how they get on with the rooting tooting clues
0:04:24 > 0:04:25for break number one.
0:04:25 > 0:04:31"Howdy partners, dress up in them hats and throw the lasso.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34"catch the bucking bull to obtain your next clue."
0:04:34 > 0:04:37There. There. Let's go and see.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41- What are these suits?- It's got to be something to do with cowboys.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43LAUGHTER
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Jenna's lasso action is looking mighty fine.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Er, Chey, you're not meant to catch yourself.
0:04:50 > 0:04:51MOO
0:04:51 > 0:04:54There it is. Get the bull.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56I'm glad it wasn't a real bull because I've seen those
0:04:56 > 0:04:58old Western movies.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00The bulls are really wild and I wouldn't want to catch
0:05:00 > 0:05:01a real bull, no way, no way.
0:05:02 > 0:05:03Got it!
0:05:03 > 0:05:05That's quite a fluke.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Maple syrup? Where?
0:05:15 > 0:05:17There's something over there. Shall we check it out?
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Yep, it's time to get messy if you want to progressy.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Horseshoe.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25It's something to do with horses.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26Let's see.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38It's got to be something to do with France, then.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41No, but other places say "bonjour" as well.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Oh, this is well hard.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45A snake and a can. A can snake.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50It looks like it could be an anaconda snake and it's a can so it's...
0:05:50 > 0:05:52I think it might be Canada.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55So the guys think break number one is Canada.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59Let's see how they get on with the clues for break number two.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07- Lira. What's Lira? - Lira's the money, aren't they?
0:06:07 > 0:06:11You guessed it. Now follow that money to something yellow and funny.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Follow the money. More Lira.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Look, a string attached to a banana with a clue.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29I know a country that has mud baths.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30- BOTH:- Turkey.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34There's some mud over there. Let's get stuck in.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Oh, that's nasty! These guys are not holding back.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45You're meant to be smothering it, not throwing it.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47But throwing's more fun!
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- What's this?- A boat.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52It's got some sort of bird in it with a red flag.
0:06:52 > 0:06:57I think this break is going to Turkey and I think we're going to be
0:06:57 > 0:07:00going sailing and having a mud bath and I'd really like that.
0:07:00 > 0:07:05Chey and Jenna did well working out the clues but now it's time
0:07:05 > 0:07:09for them to get cleaned up and pick their favourite.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Ready guys? It's the moment of truth.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16It's time to see what breaks you could go on
0:07:16 > 0:07:18and how you've done on the clues.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21So where do you think break number one is?
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- Canada.- Yeah, we think it's Canada.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27I can tell you you've got it spot-on.
0:07:27 > 0:07:33- Yeah!- Break number one is a cracking cowboy adventure holiday in Canada.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37- Oh, my word. - Shall we have a look?- Yeah!
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- You're sure you want to have a look.- Yes!- Come on.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42There could be a new sheriff in town
0:07:42 > 0:07:46if you saddle yourselves up for this cowboy adventure in Calgary,
0:07:46 > 0:07:49in the wild, wild west of Canada.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Horse-riding, whip-cracking and high-rope adventure course
0:07:52 > 0:07:56all on the agenda if you say "yee-hah!" to Canada.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- Awesome.- Have I done well? - Yeah, you are the best, man.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02That's what I'm talking about. Just to confuse you a bit more,
0:08:02 > 0:08:07- we've got another fantastic break for you to choose from.- Ooh.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09- You didn't do as well with the clues on this one.- Yeah.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13Now, this is a parrot.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- OK.- So when you put parrot
0:08:16 > 0:08:18- and sailing together... - Parasailing! Oh!
0:08:18 > 0:08:22I can tell you that break number two
0:08:22 > 0:08:27is a wet and wild water adventure holiday to Turkey.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- Are you ready to see it?- Yes.
0:08:30 > 0:08:35- Are you ready?- Yes!- All right, all right, all right. Here we go.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39Dive straight into those adrenalin water sports you've been longing for
0:08:39 > 0:08:41with a ride in a banana boat.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Follow that up with parasailing
0:08:43 > 0:08:47that will test your dad's dislike of heights. Add in some mud baths
0:08:47 > 0:08:51and hot springs and you've got all the ingredients for Turkish delight.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53You two have a big decision to make,
0:08:53 > 0:08:56so while you're doing that I'm going to go next door,
0:08:56 > 0:08:59make the front room look lovely, if my name
0:08:59 > 0:09:01ain't Joe "Best Painter In The World" Swash.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03I'll see you in a while.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09I like the look of the Canada trip.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13Yeah, I like the sound of Turkey, going in the mud baths.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- It's just hard to make a decision.- Yeah.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Bellisimo.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26- We've agreed on one?- Yeah.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Yeah.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Right, well, your front room looks beautiful.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34I've done a really good job.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36What I really want to know is
0:09:36 > 0:09:38have you come to the all-important decision?
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- Yeah.- Will it be break number one, break number two?
0:09:42 > 0:09:43- Shall we say it?- Break...
0:09:43 > 0:09:45- Number one.- Break number one!
0:09:45 > 0:09:48- Yeah.- A cracking cowboy adventure to Canada.- Yes.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50- Shall we book it?- Go ahead!- Yes!
0:09:50 > 0:09:53- Yes.- Ready, after three. One, two, three...
0:09:53 > 0:09:54booked.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59The Trivedi family went for cracking Canadian cowboy adventure
0:09:59 > 0:10:01in Calgary.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03How will Mum and Dad cope at the range?
0:10:03 > 0:10:08- I don't like this. - And who will the final treat?
0:10:10 > 0:10:14With the Trivedis' Canadian cowboy break just one day away,
0:10:14 > 0:10:18it's time for Chey and Jenna to get cracking with Mum and Dad's packing.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22Cheyan and Jenna... Mum and Dad's Packing Wish-List?
0:10:22 > 0:10:25This is what I think of it.
0:10:25 > 0:10:30I am so nervous. I have been giving them hints all week about where my
0:10:30 > 0:10:34clothes are, what to pack, and they've been going "lalalalala".
0:10:34 > 0:10:40Mum always makes you fold things, so may as well just dump them in.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43My worst-case scenario is that they start packing all my work clothes,
0:10:43 > 0:10:45my suits and shirts,
0:10:45 > 0:10:47because that's what I don't like wearing on holiday.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Going to take these dodgy trousers.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53What is this?
0:10:53 > 0:10:56If they did pack anything that was inappropriate,
0:10:56 > 0:11:01there may be a little forgetting their pocket money on a Friday.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Now the packing is done, it's time for Chey and Jenna to put
0:11:10 > 0:11:14Mum and Dad out of their misery and tell them where they're going.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15Get ready.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Cowboy. Wow, goodness me, Canada.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23What do you think? Did we pick well?
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Well, I think you've picked an absolutely brilliant break,
0:11:26 > 0:11:28- don't you?- Fantastic choice.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Mum and Dad seem happy, and now they know where they're
0:11:32 > 0:11:35going it's time for the Trivedis to saddle up and ride on out of here.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39Well, jump in a cab to the airport and catch a flight.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40Calgary.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Are you excited?
0:11:44 > 0:11:45- Yeah.- About what?
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Being in charge.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52It's a nine-hour flight across the Atlantic Ocean to Calgary
0:11:52 > 0:11:56which is situated in the wild, wild west of Canada.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02The Trivedi family have finally arrived at their break destination,
0:12:02 > 0:12:08a cowboy ranch nestled at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. Yee-hah!
0:12:08 > 0:12:12Oh, wow, this place is so cool.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16Now that the family have checked out their luxury log cabin
0:12:16 > 0:12:18it's time to unpack.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23- Goodness me. What's in here? - Goodness me!
0:12:23 > 0:12:27It's your suit jacket. That'll come in handy, won't it?
0:12:27 > 0:12:30What's this? Where am I going to wear a tie?
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Socks. Socks.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35These are all your socks. Have you seen any of mine?
0:12:35 > 0:12:38You can borrow these of mine. OK, lovely, they'll suit me.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40You might be short of clothes.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43- There is a pattern here.- Did you not see this in the suitcase?
0:12:43 > 0:12:45We didn't actually notice a thing.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48That's where it went, scrunched up at the bottom of the suitcase.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51It looks like I've got lots of T-shirts but no warm clothes,
0:12:51 > 0:12:52so thank you very much.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56- And no shoes.- And no shoes as well, and I've got no socks either.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00Chey and Jenna have forgotten to pack some essential items for
0:13:00 > 0:13:04Mum and Dad, but there's nothing a quick cowboy shop can't fix.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08And if there's still any doubt about who's in charge,
0:13:08 > 0:13:12Mum and Dad are about to find out, snowball style.
0:13:13 > 0:13:14Draw!
0:13:14 > 0:13:16And fire!
0:13:18 > 0:13:20I'm convinced!
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Now that Mum and Dad have been put in their place
0:13:22 > 0:13:26it's time for Chey and Jenna to lay down the sheriff's law,
0:13:26 > 0:13:28the holiday rules.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30'Howdy, partners!'
0:13:30 > 0:13:33- Hi.- 'You certainly look the part.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36'Do you normally dress up in cowboy gear when you're on holidays?'
0:13:36 > 0:13:38This is a first for me.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41'Now we'll do something else that you won't be used to -
0:13:41 > 0:13:43'the Gimme A Break rules.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46'Mum, rule number one is for you.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49'On this holiday there will be no BORING sightseeing visits
0:13:49 > 0:13:53- 'and definitely no educational stuff.'- No!
0:13:53 > 0:13:55- No sightseeing!- No education!
0:13:55 > 0:13:59'Rule number two - Dad, you must join in with all the activities.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02'No moaning, no excuses.'
0:14:02 > 0:14:07- I promise not to moan.- You're such a lazy cat and we've had enough of it.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09'And rule number three is also for Dad.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12'The kids are sick of you tuning out on their break
0:14:12 > 0:14:14'so there'll be no TV allowed.'
0:14:14 > 0:14:19Even if we see you watching a teeny weeny bit of telly you're in trouble.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22'Mum, if you break a rule, then Chey and Jenna have decided
0:14:22 > 0:14:26'to apply your make-up for the entire day.'
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- No way!- Yeah.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33'Dad, if you break a rule, you'll be made to wear a skin-tight unitard
0:14:33 > 0:14:36'and exercise in public.'
0:14:38 > 0:14:39Here we go.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43- There you go.- I can't wear this. - Yeah, you can.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45I might quite like to look forward
0:14:45 > 0:14:48to seeing your dad wearing this, actually.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51'Have a wild time in cowboy Canada and I'll be back later on in
0:14:51 > 0:14:54'the break to tell you how you can win a fantastic souvenir.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56'Who's in charge?
0:14:56 > 0:14:58We're in charge!'
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Right, Mum and Dad, here's the family rules.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Break them if you dare.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09We don't want to hear any more excuses.
0:15:09 > 0:15:10Deal with it.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14After being hit with so many rules,
0:15:14 > 0:15:18Chey and Jenna decided to take Mum and Dad to a cowboy campfire.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21I hope they like beans, because they come with everything.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25Chey and Jenna are in charge so they get to pick the food for the family.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28This is going to be the best feast ever.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31For the young cowboy, your steak. For the young lady, your trout.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Don't forget those beans.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Oh, that is the largest steak ever.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Looks like the mains have gone down well,
0:15:38 > 0:15:41but what will Chey and Jenna choose for dessert?
0:15:41 > 0:15:47- BOTH:- Cowboy cake and marshmallow mountain. Oh, yeah.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51What a choice. Will Chey and Jenna opt for a delicious cowboy cake or
0:15:51 > 0:15:55will the pull of melting marshmallows be too much to resist?
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Cheers.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01And it's the mouthwatering marshmallows that win the day.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- Delicious.- Yay!
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Stuffing your face with marshmallows -
0:16:07 > 0:16:10could the first night in cowboy Canada be any better?
0:16:14 > 0:16:18It's the second day of the Trivedis' cowboy adventure holiday,
0:16:18 > 0:16:21and it's time for the next activity.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Mum may be the teacher back home,
0:16:23 > 0:16:27but today she's going to find out what it's like to be a pupil again.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- So here we are. - Cowboy college.- Yay!
0:16:30 > 0:16:32But not just any cowboy college -
0:16:32 > 0:16:38this class is run by none other than lasso-looping, whip-cracking,
0:16:38 > 0:16:39horseshoe-hurling,
0:16:39 > 0:16:44Calgary Stampede Princess Kateri "The Cowgirl" Cowley.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46So are you ready to be cowboys?
0:16:46 > 0:16:47Yep, certainly are.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51Right, first thing we're going to do - roping.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55Chey's up first to be shown the ropes by cowgirl Kateri.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Then swing it right over your head.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00- Pretend that's a calf. - Good effort, Chey.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03I wonder how Jenna will fare.
0:17:03 > 0:17:04And throw it!
0:17:04 > 0:17:09- Not bad, if your intentions were to rope yourself, Jenna.- Let go.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Yeah, letting go does help.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13It's really, really, really hard.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Next up it's Dad.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19It's good seeing Dad upright instead of horizontal on a sunbed
0:17:19 > 0:17:21with his eyes closed, isn't it?
0:17:21 > 0:17:25Unlucky. Can mum be the first to rope the pretend calf?
0:17:25 > 0:17:29So close.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Chey's back for one last attempt.
0:17:34 > 0:17:35Yes!
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Get in! 1-0 to Chey and Jenna.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Next up, whip-cracking.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41CRACK!
0:17:41 > 0:17:42Wow.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46What it's doing to make the sound is it's breaking the sound barrier.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49First to go wild with the whip is Jenna.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53Snap it like that. Good.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57Not bad. Next up it's lasso legend Chey.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02It's tricky, hey?
0:18:02 > 0:18:04- OK. There you go. - Good technique from Chey.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08- Will Mum be as good? - This is hard. It looks really easy.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10You're doing it too hard. You have to go like this...
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Cracking advice there from cowboy Chey. "Cracking"?
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Oh, I crack myself up sometimes.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18But will the advice pay off?
0:18:18 > 0:18:20OK, Mum, you're scaring us a little bit.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Dad's up next to crack the whip.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Good. I'm going to move and you can try on your own.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27CRACK!
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Nice.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31CRACK!
0:18:31 > 0:18:35Dad's the best at the whip-cracking and he's levelled the scores at 1-1.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37There's only one way to settle this -
0:18:37 > 0:18:40The old cowboy way, horseshoe-tossing.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Two, three, go.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Yay!
0:18:47 > 0:18:49# You're not going to do it! #
0:18:49 > 0:18:53Nice to see such sportsmanship there from Mum and Dad.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56That's a miss from Jenna, so it's all down to Chey.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00Mum and Dad win that one,
0:19:00 > 0:19:05but the most important part of becoming a cowboy is yet to come.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- Are we ready to go riding? - Yeah. We're ready.- Yeah.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12Dad, aka the Wily Whip-Cracker,
0:19:12 > 0:19:14will be paired up with champion stallion Calibu.
0:19:14 > 0:19:19Sheriff Jenna will be horsing around on Pinky.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Lasso legend Chey
0:19:21 > 0:19:23will be riding Cruikshank,
0:19:23 > 0:19:27and Calamity Mum will be getting to grips with Cruise.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30After mounting up and a quick lesson from Cowgirl Kateri,
0:19:30 > 0:19:33the Trivedi family are ready to ride the Rockies.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35It feels quite high.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41I'm glad I've got these boots on.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43They make me feel like a real cowboy.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46He may be wearing the boots, but I don't think Calibu is convinced
0:19:46 > 0:19:50- that Dad is the real deal. - Left a bit. Oops.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Let's see if Chey is faring any better.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57My horse? He's really good, actually,
0:19:57 > 0:20:03he just keeps moving to every piece of food he wants.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07This is the best activity I've ever done in my life.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11- Do you know they're the Rocky Mountains?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:20:11 > 0:20:12And do you know something?
0:20:12 > 0:20:17- SIREN SOUNDS - They stretch for over 3,000 miles.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Mum, you're ruining the horse-riding fun.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Mum, you are breaking a rule.
0:20:22 > 0:20:23But we're having fun!
0:20:23 > 0:20:28You may be having fun, Mum, but that's a blatant rule-break.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31After two hours of riding through the Rockies, there's
0:20:31 > 0:20:34one more thing to master before the Trivedis
0:20:34 > 0:20:36are fully qualified cowboys.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38One, two, three...
0:20:38 > 0:20:40ALL: Yee-hah.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44Yee-hah indeed. It's nearly the end of day two and the cowboy
0:20:44 > 0:20:48college has been a huge success, apart from mum's blatant rule-break.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51She mentioned an educational fact and so she has
0:20:51 > 0:20:53to face the consequences,
0:20:53 > 0:20:56to have her make-up applied by Chey and Jenna.
0:20:56 > 0:21:01- What are you doing, Chey? - You look lovely.- You broke a rule.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05Chey, do you know how to apply mascara?
0:21:05 > 0:21:09- Have the kids enhanced my beauty? - You look lovely, darling.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13It's time for dinner, and Mum's attempt to hide her make-up
0:21:13 > 0:21:17by wearing a cowboy hat hasn't really worked.
0:21:17 > 0:21:22I promise during this trip I will try so hard not to break
0:21:22 > 0:21:25any more rules, especially if I have to put up with this again.
0:21:25 > 0:21:26Let's see.
0:21:26 > 0:21:27No!
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Well done, Mum.
0:21:31 > 0:21:32Lesson learned there.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37It's day three and the Trivedis are up bright and early
0:21:37 > 0:21:39for their next activity, but first
0:21:39 > 0:21:42there's an important transport decision to be made.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53Will they choose to get back in the saddle on their trusty steeds
0:21:53 > 0:21:57- or will a traditional horse-powered carriage win the day?- Howdy.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59The choice is theirs.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02We've decided we're going to go onto the carriage.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12So the horse and carriage won the day and everyone seems to be happy,
0:22:12 > 0:22:14but will Dad still be smiling
0:22:14 > 0:22:17when Jenna reveals the next activity?
0:22:17 > 0:22:19We're doing a high-ropes course.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23- I'm not scared of heights, but someone might be.- Uh-oh.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Dad doesn't look too happy, but surely the thorough
0:22:25 > 0:22:28safety briefing from rope instructor Niki
0:22:28 > 0:22:31and seeing the rest of his family scamper 10m up a tree
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- will fill him with confidence. - I am having second thoughts.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37I think that dancing in Lycra might be easier
0:22:37 > 0:22:40than climbing up this tree here.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43That's a no, then. Oh, well, the kids are in charge so, Dad,
0:22:43 > 0:22:46you've got to do it or face the consequences.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53- I don't like this. - Daddy, Daddy, Daddy...
0:22:55 > 0:22:58I think my heart's beating faster than it ever has.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59We heard you!
0:22:59 > 0:23:02You said you are going to do this every weekend with us now.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Can I take that back?
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Now I'm looking down how high we are
0:23:09 > 0:23:12I'm starting to feel proud of myself, which I don't often do.
0:23:12 > 0:23:18I'm having the best - whoa - fun of my life.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22- Come on, slow coaches!- Dad's getting a bit over-confident now, isn't he?
0:23:22 > 0:23:26Chey, are you watching how the master is doing it?
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Dad's confidence is sky-high.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31- Nice one.- I wonder if he'll come
0:23:31 > 0:23:34crashing back down to earth when he sees the way down.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35OK...
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Mum's up first on the 60m zipwire.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Yep, that's six-zero metres, Dad.
0:23:43 > 0:23:44Wicked!
0:23:44 > 0:23:48SHE SCREAMS
0:23:48 > 0:23:51I think they're screams of joy.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55- I'm having second thoughts about this.- This was so cool!
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Chey's down next.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01I'm more than I've ever been afraid.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05That was awesome, wicked, cool!
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Go, Dad!
0:24:07 > 0:24:10There's only Dad left, and there's only one way down.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18That's got to be the scariest thing I've ever done.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23- Well done!- I'm alive!
0:24:23 > 0:24:28Now that Dad seems to have overcome his fear of heights, Chey and Jenna
0:24:28 > 0:24:31have decided to squeeze in one more adventurous activity
0:24:31 > 0:24:33to finish off their break in style,
0:24:33 > 0:24:37and to keep it a secret from Mum and Dad, they've blindfolded them.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Wow, look at this!
0:24:42 > 0:24:44It's a helicopter!
0:24:44 > 0:24:48We are so, so excited to be going up in a helicopter,
0:24:48 > 0:24:50because none of us have been in one.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52I normally do worry about heights,
0:24:52 > 0:24:54but on this occasion, I think I'll be fine.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58The excitement of going on a helicopter will be brilliant.
0:24:58 > 0:25:03- Wow!- Look at those mountains. - This is crazy.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06This is an amazing view.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Look how close we are to the mountains on the right.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11OK, that is really close.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13That is amazing! Wow.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- The same height level as a cloud? - The same height level as a cloud.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Jenna's got the biggest grin on her face.
0:25:24 > 0:25:29Jenna, look, it's a lake, it looks amazing there, look at that.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Everything's so - wow.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35This is like something out of a movie.
0:25:35 > 0:25:41I think every corner we're turning takes my breath away.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45This is the coolest thing I've ever done.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50The helicopter flight over the Rockies has come to an end
0:25:50 > 0:25:54and so too has the Trivedis' break in cowboy Canada.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00But first, Chey and Jenna have the chance to win an holiday souvenir,
0:26:00 > 0:26:03some whip-cracking personalised Calgary gear.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04But if they don't win the quiz,
0:26:04 > 0:26:08their Mum and Dad will win their own outfits. Yee-hah!
0:26:08 > 0:26:10'Howdy, partners.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- Howdy, dude.- 'It's souvenir time.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15'I'm going to ask you three questions.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18'You just need to get two right to win the cowboy gear, but if
0:26:18 > 0:26:21'you get it wrong, your Mum and Dad will get it.'
0:26:21 > 0:26:24We're not going to let Mum and Dad win.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27'Here comes the first question. What activity from this break
0:26:27 > 0:26:30'did Mum say she would like to do again?'
0:26:32 > 0:26:35- I think Mum said...- The horse riding.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38She was saying the whole ride, "I want to do it again."
0:26:38 > 0:26:40- So, chose our answer?- Yes.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44Our answer is A - horse riding.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46'OK, here's what your mum said.'
0:26:46 > 0:26:50It has to be horse riding. I loved it.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- Yes!- Yes!
0:26:53 > 0:26:57'Well, done guys. Get the next question right,
0:26:57 > 0:27:00'and the holiday souvenirs are yours.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04'Question two - which activity was Dad most proud of?'
0:27:09 > 0:27:14- Do you think, I think it was B, because...- Going down the zipwire.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16- He must have said that.- Yeah.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18He would have been more proud of that.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20'So what's your final answer?'
0:27:20 > 0:27:23B. Going down a zipwire.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26'OK, this is what your Dad was most proud of.'
0:27:26 > 0:27:30- Zipwire.- Yes! Yes!
0:27:30 > 0:27:32No!
0:27:32 > 0:27:35'Congratulations, you've won the treat!'
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Yee-hah.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42I've had the best fun of my life on this break.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44It's been the most enjoyable,
0:27:44 > 0:27:48the best ever family break we've ever had.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51I think Mum and Dad have enjoyed me and Jenna being in charge so much
0:27:51 > 0:27:54- they might let us be in charge forever.- That would be great.
