" ... This time however it did not just collapse the poles broke. ... "

" ... We went on a 10 day camping trip through northern Michigan with our 2 and 4 year olds. ... This was our first trip for the kids and the wife. ... So we planned this trip pretty hard core and invested in a ton of things that most would not -the main thing was a portable potty and a tent for that- and of course a tent. ... This was her very first camping trip and she loved it. ... This is something i was worried about and i went to great lengths to make this a perfect trip so we can do this over and over again. ...
