Tent Mahal

So, Jeff picked up a tent at work the other day. When we went camping, we realized the tent that went with the van was rotten...holy mildew batman, it was bad. We had to borrow a tent from the silly boys dad to successfully complete our Carlsbad camping mission...which made us realize that we needed a new tent. It was in the back of Jeff's mind for weeks...he mentioned it occasionally, and then on Friday he brought a tent home. Tod, one of Jeff's coworkers, purchased the tent with a pro-form, so it could not be returned...and apparently it was too big for Tod's family of 4. Apparently, too big meant nothing to Jeff, he realized what a great deal it was and how convenient it would be, so Jeff paid Tod cash and ran with the tent...Kelty Pavilion 6...um, it's frickin' HUGE...it took up the entire 2nd level in our backyard...it really is the Taj Mahal of tents...the thing will take up an entire campsite, no joke...here are the photos...


These are the tent itself, very open and airy...
With the fly cover and vestibule

It is nice to see that you decided to remodel, and add another bedroom. Sweet tent.

Nice. The Taj Mahal picture made me laugh out loud. Which is nice to do at work, esp. when work days suck.

IT IS HUGE!!! Love the Coors Light in the hand photo. The Browns always have too much fun:)

It is like a castle for Lillian. You need 5 more kids.

Oh Greta and Maja,
You have given us some great ideas...I never thought about making it the new guest quarters...
I did read the reviews and apparently it stands up nicely in the rain...

and Nikki, I am glad I made you laugh, the whole tent "pitching" process made me laugh...jeff was just not getting it...maybe we will just borrow other peoples children for the time being...but it would probably fit like 10 kids in it easy...

love you all...ag
