Julius,
Great trip report and ideas about how to motivate kids. Start 'em young!
I'm planning to do a double R2R with my kid in October. South to north one day, rest the next day on the north rim, north to south the 3rd day.
The big difference is that my kid is 45 years old and runs a cross-fit studio. I know he won't have any problems and if I do he can just toss me over his shoulder and carry me out. I won't need to bribe him with a cupcake. He may need to bribe me with a cold Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.
Keep hiking!
Burt
