There must be a Murphy’s Law of tent camping. There is nothing as much fun as getting the family together in the wilderness. The kids love to crawl inside the tent when it is flopping on the ground. The laughter and giggles that come from under a tent are some of the great sounds of summer.

It looked strange, but it worked. We strung ropes between large trees on the lot and hung the tent between them.
