Took my 9 and 11 year old on their first real backpacking trip last weekend. Hiked about 8 miles total over two days through some pretty decent terrain. My older son complained about everything the first day, younger one was solid. Night one was rough, nobody slept great. But watching them summit and see the view at the top, man. They felt real accomplished. Made them trail mix snacks, filtered water from the stream, cooked dinner on the camp stove. One of those weekends you know you're gonna remember forever. Planning a bigger trip for next summer.

That's awesome man, 8 miles with both kids is legit. Did you do any campfire cooking or just stick to the easy stuff? Either way, those are the trips they're gonna remember forever.
