A very good home movie that starts out at the beach with a young couple and their young boy. It looks like this is his first time at the beach. Mom introduces him to the ocean, kid plays in the sand, charming! Then we switch to a back yard gathering. Lots of kids playing, some adults, lots of balls. There's tons of color in this one from the outfits. Quite impressive how vibrant they all are. Then we do go to Vegas. We don't go very far from the El Rancho resort, which is fine, because it's interesting in it's own right. Nice pool, layout etc. El Rancho was the first hotel on the strip…
