Sounds like you had a fun home. I gave the neighbor kid a tent a few years back to encourage him to go camping, even if it was in the house or the backyard.
we have done a lot of camping throughout the years... my sons know the ins and outs of setting up and tearing down... a few years ago, we had a really big celebration at our home... several out of town guests--a full house... a family friend decided he would camp out in our yard... he offered my sons $20 to set up his tent... he thought it would take them a good amount of time... they were finished in five minutes tops... haha!
