Have you ever slept outside in a tent?\u00a0 Well, even though Camp Orenda<\/a> had custom made canvas tent cabins, I insisted that we sleep in The North Face tent that Jessica had sent us during our camping trip.\u00a0 She had sent this really great\u00a0Mountain Manor 6, a 6 person tent (since a 4 person tent can get really small\u2026especially with kids!) for us to camp in and we were<\/strong> going to use it!<\/p>\n

Reggie hedged..\u201dWell, what if we just set up the tent?\u201d Uh\u2026no. \u201cOkay then,\u201d he tried \u201cwhat if we stay in the tent for a little while to test it out and then go back to our cabin?\u201d Absolutely not.\u00a0 After all of that hemming and hawing (of course, the kids were on Reggie\u2019s side), it turned out that the guys really enjoyed sleeping in the tent after all.\u00a0 It was actually quite comfortable. Thankfully, we had listened to our friend Lesley who had encouraged us to sleep on an air mattress inside of the tent\u2026rather than on the ground in our sleeping bags as I had originally planned to do! (Number 1 tip before going camping: Ask experienced campers for advice!)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The tent was\u00a0 easy to assemble. Granted, we had a guide to help us, but Reggie feels confident that he can set it up by himself in the future.\u00a0 \u201cDo you think that it will fit in our dining room or living room so that I can practice pitching it at home?\u201d Reggie wondered aloud.<\/p>\n

Just in case you plan on going camping, here is a visual of the guys pitching the tent\u2026<\/p>\n
