Tent Testers

Matt has gotten into light weight backpacking and has found that the cheapest and lightest tent is one that is homemade. A couple of years ago he tried his hand at making a tent, but it was a bit on the small side. So this year he decided to make a larger one. Since for Memorial Day weekend we decided to stay home and do some spring cleaning and not go on any adventures, we tested Matt's tent out one night in the back yard. It was fun. Matt, Bailee and I barely fit in it, but it held up and we stayed dry. We left Owen inside because he is a bit partial to his own bed (no worries, we had the baby monitor hooked up outside so we could still hear his every move). Bailee woke up once or twice because she got a little cold, but we fixed that by stuffing one of her favorite blankets in her sleeping bag. Other than that, we all had a great night's sleep out under the stars and Matt's homemade tent. Bailee and I still sleeping the morning away.
