Necessity - the mother of invention.




Several months ago we took home a tent from Mum and Dad's. Bronte and Paul tried to put it up several weeks ago only to fine that there were no poles or pegs. So we asked Dad to see if he could find them in the garage. We came home from Sydney with two potentially suitable loooking bags. But what we found was a great 3-4 man tent plus another tent but no suitable poles etc for the first tent. Never mind we thought - maybe later we can sort it.
Chris and Geoff arrived today but didn't bring the 12 man tent that the kids were to sleep in. SO, Paul swung into action and along with the adjusted swing set, some rope, crates and star pickets the kids are sound asleep on the lawn outside.
Heading that way myself right now.

That's awesome.
We had some tents like that once. We weren't as successful in our creativity though. The Hills Hoist came in handy once, too.
Well done.
