Tent!
Bought the Costco tent, which may or may not be a trap, but it went on sale after my last post so I figured it was worth it even if it is a trap. I set it up in my parent's yard this afternoon, 
It's huge! And it seems sturdy enough, and looks like it will keep us dry as long as it doesn't rain sideways (a possibility I am not ruling out, but eh, not many tents would be perfect for sideways rain). And my father can stand up in the middle with a good 6" of clearance, so it doesn't just look tall next to me :)
