I hope there will be many. So far however, there's nothing on the calendar. I have to balance my backpacking time with family time. Usually, if I have my older son with me, I also have my younger son. It's challenging to hike with them; it would be much more challenging to take them backpacking, especially my younger son. Because of his autism, he's still in diapers, and going any further than a few hundred feet (maybe a mile on a good day) I have to carry him. There's just no way I can carry both him and all the gear for three people, including diapers, for an overnight trip even if the ten year old helps out.

One thing we do enjoy together is car camping. I was thinking of taking them over spring break, and giving my wife a well deserved rest, but I've decided to visit the grandparents instead (and my wife will still get some R & R). Even so, I'm sure we'll get some day hikes in and maybe even a night or two in the tent.

ETA: And, thanks for the tip about drying gear over lunch. Great idea!
