Someone: Well, hopefully it will be better tomorrow.
Me: We will see, let ourselves get suprised.
Thanks!

Native speakers would not say that.

Perhaps you mean 'Let's hope we get a surprise'.

Thanks, but this is not really the intention I want to express.
I more want to convey that I dont really mind, but somehow hope that something will happen, whether it is good or not.

"Let's hope we get a suprise" sounds really firm.

Hopefully this is giving you a clue

Possibly:

Me: We'll see. Let's let ourselves be surprised.

I'm not sure what exact nuance you're aiming at.
