As Gary has pointed out, a 4-berth tent may be too much of a squeeze for a family of 4.
Good thing about GO and other reputable vendors is that one can exchange/refund with little hassle.
As for pegs, I would advise getting a selection of pegs if budget allows, to cater for different ground conditions.
I carry the following:
Nylon Delta pegs for normal to soft grounds, for the major load-bearing guys
6in and 9in angle steel pegs for guys with lesser loads
5 or 6mm stainless steel hook pegs for securing the tent's ground sheet, and the bin in place, available from the same place that sells Delta pegs (as in Rob/Deltagroundanchors)
8mm T-bar stainless steel rock pegs, again from Rob in case I need them
And another set of rock pegs in case I need them
Also a set of Peggy Pegs that require to be used with a drill (they have their uses)
Lastly, mushroom pegs for the cheapo tarp that I use as a primary groundsheet
If the OP is getting some pegs from Rob and have a dog, then I would advise getting one of their extra long peg extractors and a Delta dog tether, very good products indeed!
