Whose family are we going to meet today?

Eva's.

Eva is five and lives with her mum,

stepdad Carl and baby brother Ben

in a town.

She also spends lots of time with her dad, who lives close by.

I wonder what they are up to today.

Whoa!

This morning, Eva is spending time with baby brother Ben and Mum.

Later, she will be staying over at Dad's house.

What are you going to take with you to Dad's?

I haven't decided all of them.

I have only decided Blu Blu.

-Blu Blu? Are you taking a few things, are you?

-Uh-huh.

It's very warm in the house,

so Eva helps Mum take off Ben's baby-gro.

Look at those little feet.

Little feet.

Aw. How is our Benny?

How is little Ben?

Yay, tickle, tickle, tickle.

Tickle, tickle time. Tickle time.

Here comes the tickle monster!

-Tickle monster!

-Tickle time!

Tickle monster!

EVA SQUEALS AND GIGGLES

Oh, I know who loves to tickle us.

-Who?

-Dad.

-Dad? Does he?

Does he tickle you?

EVA SQUEALS

Better get packed because Dad will be here soon.

So, what are we going to pack to take to Dad's?

So, we've got pyjamas,

-some clothes for tomorrow.

-Yep, and dolphin.

And we've got a jumper in case it is cold. OK?

A book in case I get bored.

-Should I check if they are folded up first?

-Yeah.

This is folded up.

-We'll have to squish that one in, won't we?

-Yeah.

Look who has arrived.

It's Dad.

-Hiya.

-Hello.

OK? Whee!

-How are you, Matt?

-Hiya. You OK?

-Yeah, yeah. Come on in.

-Cheers.

-Come on in. She's just getting her bits and bobs together.

-No bother.

I have got my bits and bobs together.

-Have you got all your bits and bobs together, have you?

-Mm-hm.

Don't forget some toys, Eva.

I'm carrying these two.

-Are these to take?

-Yeah.

-Right, shall we go?

-Yep.

-Does Mum and Ben get a kiss?

-Yeah, come and give us kisses and cuddles.

I love you, darling.

Aw. You going to have a lovely day?

-Yeah.

-Come on, then, sweetie.

-You take my hand?

-Yeah.

-Bye, Mummy.

-Bye. Have fun.

-See you later.

-I'll see you tomorrow.

-See you.

-Bye.

-Bye.

-Be good.

-I will.

At his house, Dad has a surprise for Eva.

What's in there, Dad?

Is it a present in there?

There's the tent

and there's some food

and there's the cooker.

They're going camping for the day.

Put it on my back.

OK, arm in. Ready?

DAD LAUGHS

It's just too heavy for you, I think.

Yes, careful, Eva. Maybe Dad should carry it.

It's like walking through a forest, isn't it?

-Like walking through a forest.

-A nice pretty forest.

Wahoo!

I know a good camping spot.

Follow me.

Here.

-Here?

-Here.

I think that is a great spot to put the tent.

Eva is off to play...

..while Dad puts up the tent.

-We always do this, don't we, Dad?

-We do.

The ball has disappeared.

-Dad?

-What, babes?

Can you help us get my ball out of the bush?

-Have you lost the ball?

-No, it's in there.

-Is it?

-Yeah.

-Right here.

-It's there, look.

-But there's nettles in there.

-There we go.

Eva wants Dad to play,

but he hasn't got the tent up yet.

Let's play monster catch.

-You want to play monster catch?

-Yeah.

-Catch the treasure.

-Ready?

DAD GROWLS, EVA LAUGHS

I'm going too fast, Daddy, than you, in these trainers.

Referee!

-We have to hold hands.

-How can we hold hands and play?

-We'll kick at the same time.

-Like three-legged football.

No, four legs.

-We can tie our legs together and play.

-Good idea.

Let's do catch.

No, we are doing catch now.

-Football. Catch.

-Ready?

-Oh!

-Almost, Eva.

Ready?

-You've thrown it too far.

-I know.

Did you lose?

-Are you going to catch?

-Daddy attack.

Daddy attack? Oh, no.

I'm going to attack you.

EVA SQUEALS

Eva and Dad must be worn out.

Time to rest and cook some food.

The hot dogs are heated up and ready to eat. Yum.

Do you want some sauce on it?

-No, thank you.

-Just like that?

-Thank you.

-You are welcome, babes.

-How does it taste?

-Good.

-Is it good?

-Happy days.

-How's yours?

I don't know. I'm about to find out.

I know. How is yours?

Mm.

Same as mine?

-Tastes good, doesn't it?

-Mm. Both of them.

It took ages to put the tent up,

but with Eva's help Dad takes it down in no time at all.

Hold it gently.

That's it. You've been a big help.

Well done.

Dad? Guess which hand the golf ball is in.

That one.

The other one.

Yay!

Here we go. OK. Which hand is the golf ball in?

-Yeah.

-What, there?

-Yeah.

EVA LAUGHS

You made it come out of my ear.

Great magic trick, Dad.

Come on, then, sweetheart.

Home time.

I wonder if Dad will carry Eva all the way home.

Five, four...

Eva is about to take off.

..one, zero.

DAD ROARS LIKE A ROCKET

Fasten your seatbelt.

Whoa. Seatbelt.

And she's flying all the way to Planet Bedroom...

-Way!

-Fly us into there.

..and landed just in time for a bedtime story.

OK, what is the book called?

-Tiddler.

-Tiddler.

Ready?

"Once there was a fish and his name was Tiddler.

"He wasn't much to look at with his plain grey scales,

"but Tiddler was a fish with a big imagination.

"He blew small bubbles but he told tall tales."

-Who is that?

-Gruffalo.

-It's a Gruffalo fish, isn't it?

He looks like the Gruffalo.

It a real Gruffalo dressed up as a mermaid.

"I heard it from a starfish.

"I heard it from a plaice. The plaice said...

"Just a minute. Don't I recognise your face?

"'It isn't just a story,' said little Johnny Dory

"and he told it to a writer friend who wrote it down to you."

Right, settle down, sweetie.

What a busy day it has been for Eva.

-Good, wasn't it?

-Give us a kiss.

Night-night, darling. Love you.

-OK. Night-night, baby.

-Night-night, Mum.

-Love you.

-I mean, Dad.

-Night-night. Love you.

-Night-night.

Sleep tight.

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