Welcome to the forum Woolfie
The Vermont is an exellent tent, The one thing i would suggest is the side extention
http://www.outwell.dk/TentMeasure.aspx? ... =928&pid=1As this will give you somewhere seperate to cook which you can shut the door to to stop the little ones running past the cooker from inside the tent. There is plenty of room in the vermont so it should be happy camping.
Check out the camping forum campout thread and drop your name down if you are interested in coming to the first ever campout get together
