When I take my four kids with my wife, we only go day hiking. I usually end up carrying two kids. I have a backpack carrier for the 2 year old, and the 3 yr old sits on my shoulders. I never knew day hiking could be so heavy. If I go backpacking, I only take one kid with me (normally my 6 year old son, his older sister usually doesn't want to). Can you imagine how much stuff I would have to take with four kids and two adults? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
