Today, my daughter, Salish and her best friend Nadal are reunited, because he has moved back to California two years ago, they said, an emotional goodbye when he moved to Texas now, he's back and for their first adventure together, they will attempt to spend 24 hours in California's biggest water park if they can complete 10 mystery challenges before I find them I, see them, I, see them they get to stay overnight.

Oh, no.

You each have one minute to hide from me and start your challenges.

Three.

Two one, go home.

You know, what's.

The first challenge my assistant has come up with a series of challenges, I, don't know, Sailors and adult don't know him, but I hope I catch them before they hit 10 or else they're in this tonight and I don't want that to happen.

Okay, 10 seconds, you gotta pause.

So this is like a hide and seek meets an overnight challenge.

If they win the hide and seek.

They get to stay overnight.

So first, where would they hide? But remember they've got to do a bunch of challenges.

So they can't just hide in one place.

All I have to do is tag one of them before they finish and it's all over it's hurting, why'd you pause like that, I, don't know, uh, what was that? What was that? This is the biggest water park in California at 60 000 square feet and it's, the busiest day of the year.

So how am I gonna find them I? Think you might find them? Yeah, wait.

How long do we have to stay here? One minute, huh? Colin's here suddenly Collins filming.

Look at that look show him show he's supposed to be with Salish, an adult.

So if you're here they're somewhere, oh, he just gave it up what's up is that him, Colin Dandy and Rowan.

All of them are with sales.

All I have to do is find one of them.

Oh, let's.

Go.

Wait.

Let me go.

We are not allowed.

Okay.

This is gonna be hard, wait what's.

The second challenge they went where they went to Mars Mars the planet.

Yeah, Mars.

Did you hear that I have a feeling they're gonna get everybody at this park on their side, Salish and Nadal have been traveling to surprise.

Each other for the last two years since he moved away.

But now it is so exciting that they won't have to get on a plane to see each other for the rest of the summer I'm going.

We need the Second Challenge.

What is it right there? If I don't catch sales in it? All before they hit their 10 challenges, they're gonna stay up all night? I know, it's doing the rides at this park, but I want some sleep.

So let's hope I get them get to the other side of other Willy pads, I've done this one one thought it was really bad, it's, too short.

We have to keep doing the challenges and then a ride.

Yeah, because if we stay here all night, we can do all of these right.

That's.

Fun, wait.

Okay, what's.

The next chance let's.

Go.

Wait let's.

Go let's.

Go.

What if they're just on the Lazy River, I, just chill here and I jump in and tag them.
