This 1976 home movie captures a Saucedo family vacation to Houston. First, they visit the Houston Zoo, where they see a variety of animals. Then, the Saucedos enjoy the attractions at Six Flags AstroWorld, including the Bamboo Shoot log flume ride and the Astroway skyride. Back home in Corpus Christi, the family plays in the backyard with the family dog and plays tennis.
