Whose family are we going to meet today?

Sylvan's.

Sylvan is five.

His family lives in a city.

He has two big brothers, Gabriel and Max,

and an older sister called Megan,

along with Mum, Dad and two dogs, Baloo and Tooie.

I wonder what they're up to today.

Whoo!

Breakfast time!

The day begins with breakfast.

What's Sylvan having?

-Bagel first.

-Bagel first.

-With butter on it.

OK, do you want me to do your buttering?

-Oh, I want two bits.

-No.

-There you go. You want two?

-Two bits.

-OK.

Toasted bagels with butter and runny honey.

Stop.

Mm, that sounds yummy.

What are we doing today, Sylvan?

Mm, going to Nanny's house.

Nanny's house - what will they do there?

Yeah, we're going to go up, going to do some fishing.

-Right, first we pack everything into the car.

-Cool.

Go on the road, drive to Pitlochry, stop there,

say hello and then to Inverness.

-Perfect. High five, Max. Very good.

-OK.

-Do you want to leave the table?

-Yes, with Max.

-Right, you and Max want to leave the table?

-Mm-hm.

-OK.

I'm still hungry.

Eat up, Gabriel and Sylvan, you've got a big day ahead.

We'll get your bag sorted.

Sylvan's family is going to stay at his grandparents',

so he's off to pack a bag.

All right, have a look at your list.

Decide all the things you're going to need to take.

-Socks.

-And how many socks do you need?

Four.

One, two, three.

Four.

-What do you need to get now?

-Tops.

And how many?

-Five.

-That's a lot of tops, isn't it?

-I've found a T-shirt.

-OK.

-So, how many have you got now?

-One, two, three.

-We need two more to make five.

-That's right.

-Now we've got one, two, three, four.

-Mm-hm.

-Nearly five.

-Nearly.

Excellent.

-So, that's the five.

-One, two, three, four, five.

-Well done. What do you have to get now?

-Jumper.

Perfect. You get the jumpers, then.

-You need three jumpers.

-Easy-peasy.

Wait a second, this one's my favourite one.

Brilliant. We'll definitely take that one,

because it's your favourite. OK, so, get the bag.

We'll put your welly boots in first.

Then trousers.

OK. And then your trousers in.

OK. Then T-shirts into your bag.

Can you zip it up?

Well done. That's you all ready to go.

Big lift up. Oh!

All the bags go in one car.

But dogs Baloo and Tooie have their own car.

Do you need a lift? Oh, in you go!

-Say bye to the dogs.

-Bye!

Whoa!

One car just isn't enough for this big family.

They're off.

I spy with my little eye

something that goes, "ba-a-a!"

-A sheep!

-OK, your turn.

I spy with my little eye something beginning with green.

Something green?

-Is it the trees?

-No.

-Mummy, can we have it in 20 minutes?

-Is it grass?

-Yes!

They're only halfway and Baloo and Tooie need to have a run around.

The family can stretch their legs too.

Oh, there you go!

A wet grassy slope. This looks inviting.

Max, who's going to be the best? Three, two, one, slide it!

THEY CHEER

Max has found a quick way down.

-Are you wet?

-You're all wet.

-THEY LAUGH

-High five!

Wait for me!

THEY CHANT SYLVAN Come on, Sylvan, your go.

Come on!

-Argh!

-He's coming!

-Oh, look at Sylvan!

-Whoa!

-Whoo!

-I'll go and join the kids.

Dad just can't resist.

Try and jump off.

On the count of three...

One, two, three!

Go, go, go, go, go!

-Whoa!

-Grass hands again.

Have I got grass coming down me everywhere?

-OK.

-I am not getting cuddled by any of these boys.

Especially not Max!

No, no, no! Get them off, get them off me!

Save me!

Fun's over for now. Time to get back on the road to Nanny's house.

After a long drive,

Sylvan and his family finally arrive at Nanny's house.

There you go. Let's go ring that doorbell.

Coming? Let's go.

Come on, then.

BELL DINGS

Sylvan!

Nanny is so happy to see them all.

So is Grandad Dee-Dee.

Not forgetting Pippa, the three-legged dog.

Say hi to Pippy.

-She's a wriggler.

-She is a wriggler, she'll wriggle down.

So, what will they all get up to at Nanny and Grandad Dee-Dee's?

All the family has come to a loch in the hills.

Time for some fishing.

-Bye, good luck with the fish.

-Bye-bye!

Sylvan and Megan have gone out in a boat.

And Max is staying on the bank.

Goodbye, guys!

# Row, row, row your boat

# Gently down the stream

# Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream. #

This little fish is called a lure.

It's used to attract bigger fish.

Hopefully!

OK, Sylvan, hold the rod.

Come on, be lucky, guys.

Sylvan's been fishing for ages, without a single bite.

Maybe Megan will have more luck.

-Oh, oh, oh, oh!

-Have you got one?

Yeah, that's a fish!

-Oh!

-Could be a big one, guys.

Could it be a shark?

-It's so big.

-OK, I think we're getting close.

-I've got it, I've got it.

-OK, there we go.

Oh, it must have got off!

Oh, it got away. Unlucky, Megan.

Maybe they'll have more luck fishing from the bank.

I wonder if they'll ever catch anything.

Oh, I think that one's going to catch.

That one's going to catch.

That one is going to catch us a big one.

Nice and slowly, wind it in.

-Slowly, slowly!

-Slowly, watch yourself.

-I'm not stopping.

-No, you keep it cranking.

Oh!

-Please.

-If I want to get...

-Oh, what's that?

OK, reel, reel, reel!

-Reel, Sylvan.

-I got something.

-Reel, reel, reel.

That's it, keep on going.

That's it, I think we've got one.

-I think we've got one, look in the water there. Oh-ho-ho!

-Yes!

I think Sylvan might have caught something.

-That was a great cast! Whoa!

-Oh, wow!

-Yay!

-Whoa, that's so awesome!

-That's called a brown trout.

-A brown trout?

-Yeah.

When he swims in the water, you see, he's dark on the top

-and you can't see him.

-This fish is awesome.

Sylvan's going to take his fish home for Nanny to cook for their dinner.

Back at the house, Nanny helps Sylvan prepare the trout.

That's it, stop. Thank you, that's enough.

Perfect.

Now, can you shake it a little bit along?

Oh, perfect, thank you.

Rub it in carefully.

Super.

Now, would you like to put this onto a plate,

because we have to take it to the frying pan.

Can you put it on a plate for me? That's it, use your hand.

-The frying pan!

-Yeah!

Can you slide it in?

Slide it in, that's it, that's it.

Look, its tail!

Bubbles. Pop, pop, pop, pop.

They're all popping.

The delicious fish is cooked.

Grandad Dee-Dee checks for bones.

And then Sylvan can finally tuck in.

-Is that bones?

-No, that's the actual bit you can eat.

-Do you want to taste?

-Yummy!

-I'm going to have a taste.

-Is it hot?

What do you think?

-It's delicious.

-Yum.

-Well, we're going to have to try

and catch another one next time you come.

Do you dare me to catch another one?

I dare you to catch another one, absolutely!

I wonder who we're going to meet next time on Our Family.
