# Our family. #

Whose family are we going to meet today?

Alexa's.

Alexa is four-years-old.

She lives with her dad and little brother, Archie,

who is three, in a town near a river.

I wonder what they're up to today.

The family is going to visit friends who live in the countryside.

There we go.

Alexa is packing her suitcase.

Hat, books.

Don't forget things for your hair, Alexa.

-Hairbrush.

-Hairbrush.

And spare clothes.

-Skirts.

-Skirt. That one?

-Yes.

-OK.

I don't know where to put it.

Where, where, where?

Wellies.

I don't think you'll get much more in your case, Alexa.

I love your pink spotty socks.

-I think I'm done.

-I think you're done.

-Oh, that's it.

-Squash!

-Squash!

-Right, are we ready?

-Yeah.

Remember Archie's case.

-I'll carry your case.

-Oh, heavy.

-Oh, it's heavy.

-Let me help.

-You help me.

Oh, well done.

Now we are fine.

-Daddy?

-Yes.

-Archie's is really heavy.

The best thing about Alexa's case is she can ride it.

-Whee!

-Whee!

Archie wants to help pack the car.

-Yes, please, put it in the boot.

-No more space.

There's loads of space.

HE GASPS

There we go.

Shall we shut the boot? Mind your fingers.

Alexa's friend, Lily, is waiting for them to arrive.

Here we are.

Mummy, Archie and Alexa are here.

-Shall we have a look out the window?

-There.

Come on, out you come.

Lily, who's that coming up the driveway?

Lily's mum and little sister Bethany are excited

to see Alexa too.

Oh, hello. Hello, Archie.

I think they're going to have a fun weekend together.

Alexa is leading everyone on a countryside walk.

MUSIC PLAYS

Wild ponies. How lovely.

ALEXA SCREAMS

Uh-oh. Alexa's feet are stuck in the mud.

I'm stuck! Stuck! Help!

-Help! I'm stuck!

-Alexa is stuck in the mud.

-Daddy, pull me out.

-Oh, OK. Come on, then.

Thanks, Dad.

I'm stuck in the mud.

-Help! Help!

-Who needs help out?

-Me.

-Come on, then.

-Help!

I think everyone is getting stuck on purpose.

I think we're finished getting stuck in the mud, Alexa, now.

Look how muddy my boots are.

Alexa, Bethany, there's some really nice trees over there.

-Shall we go and have a look?

-Yes.

They're finally free from the mud

and Alexa thinks she's heard a troll.

-Where is it?

-In the forest.

Have a run, see if you can find it.

Come on, Lily.

Alexa pretends to be the troll.

If you want to come across my bridge, you need to pay.

-How much do I need to pay you?

-Erm... Ten.

-Ten pennies?

There's ten pennies for me and there's ten pennies for Archie.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

-If you want to cross, you need to pay.

-Here you go.

-One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine...

-Ten!

-Yes.

-Thank you.

I'll put it all in my pocket.

Phew, they've made it across and now they can go home.

The best thing about staying with friends is sleepovers.

-The bed is big.

-And very noisy.

First, Dad needs to blow up the bed.

Cover your ears.

BED PUMP MAKES A NOISE

SHE LAUGHS

I think you're meant to wait until the bed is full of air.

LAUGHTER

I think that's full now.

-Shall we put the sheets on?

-Yes.

-Yeah?

The friends work together to make up the bed.

Take it down here, then.

-Well done.

-Who wants to do a pillow?

Me! Your pillow.

That's it.

OK, who's ready for bed?

There's just time for a duvet waft.

And again.

-Again.

-Again? Whee! Whee!

LAUGHTER

Little Bethany wants to give everyone goodnight kisses.

-I haven't had a kiss.

-Are you going to give one to Alexa too?

Ah, you three look super cute.

Get a good night's sleep. There'll be more fun tomorrow.

Good jump. Jump down from this one.

We'll go and have a play by the sea.

The holiday weekend continues with a trip to the beach.

There's a big wave coming. Quick, quick, quick, quick!

Oh, you almost ended up with soggy feet.

We just missed that one.

Alexa? Will you help me with this one?

You take that one, I'll take this half.

That must be the biggest pebble on the beach.

Ready.

One, two, three!

LAUGHTER

Alexa? See if you can hit our giant stone.

Nearly. Big wave.

-Yes!

-Good shot.

Lily wants to collect pebbles in a bucket with Alexa.

Daddy, can you help me collect water?

I got wet!

Put some mixing sand in.

There you go.

-Daddy, I got sand on me.

-That's OK. We'll wash it off.

Big wave.

Buckets full, time to wash off those sandy hands.

-Wash my hands.

-Pull your sleeves up.

Then you can wash your hands as well.

-I've got wet socks!

-Oh, never mind.

-Are your hands clean?

-Yes.

-Come on, we'll go and get an ice cream.

-Yes.

-Come on.

-Come on, then.

Mmm, ice cream. Perfect for cooling down.

I've got chocolate.

Oh, wow! Pink ice cream.

Is that for you?

-Come and sit up here.

-What flavours did you choose?

-Strawberry.

Strawberry?

-What did you get, Archie?

-I got orange.

Is it tasty?

I love my ice cream.

Mine is a bit pink and red.

Oh, it's got a red bit in the middle? Yummy.

No, this is not yours, it's mine.

What's your favourite thing about coming to the seaside?

It's an ice cream.

-Shall we have a walk along the beach with our ice creams?

-Yeah.

-Yeah?

Come on, then.

All right, guys. Is it time to go home now?

Shall we go home and do some playing?

What a lovely end to their weekend holiday.

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