Scroll down to see who is coming, what we are doing, and when we all shout “SURPRISE!”.
Meet the Holiday Crew
Everyone has a superpower for this trip. (Rose says so, so it is true.)
Rose · Trip Captain
Age 9. Loves drawing, purple everything, looking slay, and making this website. Superpower: turning boring waiting time into silly games.
Dad & Emily
Dad: Fun boss & maths champion.
Emily: Step‑mum, sunshine finder and selfie taker.
Superpower: keeping everyone safe and giggly.
Arthur & Betty
Arthur (11): footballer, trainee goat, puzzle solver, maths wizard, loves football and proudly supports Manchester United.
Betty (9): dance queen, artist, athlete and pool‑float gymnast.
Superpower: making every photo 100× sillier.
Auntie Khristy (Birthday Girl!)
She has two miniature schnauzers. Pinot and Deeda. Doesn't know about the big birthday surprise yet.
Superpower: giving the best hugs and laughing until she cries.
Uncle Paul
Chief secret‑keeper for the birthday plan and Taylor Swift super fan.
Superpower: carrying all the inflatables and still racing us to the pool.
Operation: Auntie Khristy's Birthday 🎂
Shhh! This is the secret part. If you are Auntie Khristy, please look away right now and go get cake.
- Morning: pool splashes and happy‑birthday sings in silly voices.
- Afternoon: surprise card and drawings from Rose, Arthur & Betty.
- Evening: cake, candles, and a family photo with our best holiday faces.
Rose's rule: everyone must say one favourite thing about Auntie Khristy before eating cake. No skipping!

Our Benidorm Fun Plan
Rose's official (and very scientific) list of important holiday activities.
Daytime Splash Zone
Swimming, water slides, and seeing who can make the biggest splash (probably Dad). Remember: suncream, water, goggles and giggles.
Pool Treasure Hunts and Games
Unlimited snacks, unlimited fun, quizzes, puzzles, games, and mocktails.
Night‑Time Sparkles
Walks with lights, music, ice cream, and maybe staying up a tiny bit later than usual (if the grown‑ups say yes).
Rose's Games & Family Quiz
Play these on the plane, by the pool, or when the grown‑ups are talking about boring stuff.
Rose's Holiday Games
Mini games made by Rose for Arthur, Betty and the grown‑ups:
- Beach Bingo – spot umbrellas, boats, dogs, and sunglasses.
- Pool Point Game – get points for funny jumps and handstands.
- Spanish Word Hunt – find and say new words we see around us.

Who remembers the funniest moments, the yummiest food and the splashiest splashes? Find out in the quiz! Bonus round: sing a little 'Shake It Off' if you get a perfect score!

From Rose, With Extra Sparkles
I made this website so we can remember our Benidorm adventure forever and so Auntie Khristy gets the best birthday surprise. Please bring your smiles, your swimsuits and your silliest dance moves.
Love from Rose 💕 — paws, sparkles, and Taylor Swift songs!
