The Mansion Tent

This past weekend I went camping with my church group called Chi Alpha. The camping trip was two days and one night. When I arrived to the camping spot, we started to pull out the tents,chairs, food, and etc. When it came to put up the tent I was staying in, everyone around us realized how big the tent was and it got the name The Mansion Tent. I stayed in the tent with five other girls and it took us almost an hour to get it set up because we couldn't figure out how the poles were supposed to be set up. Eventually two guys offered to help us and we were able to finally get a better picture of how the tent frame was supposed to be. Once we got the tent put up, we ventured out to explore the campground more or help anyone who needed help. Later in the night, I decided to go to bed. I had eventual day with meeting everyone, eating dinner, helping out and etc, I was exhausted. It was about one in the morning when I finally decided to crash. I crawled into the Mansion Tent and fell asleep quickly. Throughout the night, it was miserable. I didn't have a sleep bag so I slept with my blanket. Well it was freezing that night so I ended up sleeping on the tent floor so I could use my entire blanket to keep me warm. Another issue, us girls had was the fact that the tent was set up down hill and there were a bunch of tree branches that were underneath the tent. In the morning when I woke up, I saw that all of us had ended up sliding down to the right side of the tent. All of us started laughing and joking that we could have fit 2-3 more girls into the tent. Overall I got a sleepless night but I enjoyed getting to sleep in the Mansion Tent and meeting a bunch of new people that joined Chi Alpha. I had a blast and I can't wait to go next year!
