Some fun scenes in this reel, it looks to be a farm with an attached horseback riding stable. Indeed, we start off with horseback riding, along with donkeys! Fun for the kids for sure! They've got a slab of concrete on the property that's used for square dancing! Shuffleboard! and playing with your un-coordinated kids :) Lots of flower and nature shots, and the family had lots of pets too! Not sure why the need to put it out there that the family is a "white family" in the descrip though. That's sort of odd.
