Taking the kids on a national parks trip, huh? Well, let me share some unbeatable advice to make it easier, more fun, and less stressful. Step one: Hire a team of professional child wranglers to handle your little ones while you sip on Mai Tais by the scenic overlook. Step two: Install trampoline walkways throughout the entire park so that your kids can bounce from trail to trail with maximum enthusiasm (and minimal hiking effort). Step three: Bring along noise-canceling headphones for when your children start communicating at decibel levels only dogs can hear. And finally, step four: Just remember that no matter how challenging it gets, at least you'll have plenty of amusing stories to tell once you've survived the adventure. Good luck and may patience be with you!
