Our new tent!

This was purchased with birthday money (thanks Oma & Opa, and Grandma & Grandpa). It's HUGE!!! It's supposed to sleep 13 people, which means it'll be very comfortable for the 4 of us! It has 4 rooms, and 3 entrances. Darren and Evan will each have their own room. There's an "e-port" for an extension cord.

Eric can easily stand up inside of it (I can too)!

Lots of fun!

That is an awesome tent! We should have a family reunion in that tent!
Happy camping!

You know, at Easter, we had 13 people sleeping at our house--so of course, we could have our reunion in/at your tent!
Looks great!

Wow! what a tent. You can hardly see from one end to the other--you can play hide and seek in it. You know there is a saying that a marriage is strong if the couple can put up a tent together. So congratulations

Guys- what a cool tent- I am so jealous. I think the only thing we could do to one-up this would be to get that modular tent thingy in the Canadian Tire fliers, but I don't think those have an e-port.

Have fun with it!

What is an e-port?

Eric and Marya said...

E-port is a flap in the side of the wall where you can run an electric ("E") cord into the tent. The E-port just prevents you from putting it through your front door and not having the zipper close properly.

I'm disappointed with that reply. I thought that an "e-port" was something electronic (computer-like) that only Brian would be able to use!:-)

Just imagine--a tent for 13--does that mean there will be 11 children sleeping in there one day? hmmmmm

Awesome! That is my kinda tent! Uncle Michael has a "two" person tent -- no thank you. Very claustrophobic (spelling not right?)

UNCLE MICHAEL WANTS TO KNOW IF YOU HAVE TO PAY CONDO FEES FOR IT?? LOL. We like it.

Eric and Marya said...

Nope! No condo fees. Of course that means we hafta shovel our own snow and cut the grass.

What a HUGE tent - it's big enuf for a circus! Thanks for inviting our kids to join you for a month-long 'test-drive' in it. I think there may even be room for a couple of their favourite barn animals too. It'll be kind of like Noah on his ark! Happy birthday, btw. :)
