Overview

Taken from the Ashlee Family Films collection, this short home movie shows children enjoying a day in the sun, firstly in fancy dress and then taking part in a series of events, including skipping and obstacle races. The table loaded with prizes looks very impressive. Ends with brief shots of a new baby – Diane, the third of the Ashlee’s four children.
