Jim,
I'm not sure it's a good idea using your real name if you have flight insurance or if your FBO has insurance on the number of 'souls' on board your Grumman. A few ideas: First, make two trips. Second, always make sure everyone is belted. Third, always do a weight and balance and always compute the density altitude to see if you're within the operating envelope of the Grumman. Fourth, don't fly in or around thunderstorms. Kids at that age never quiet down, making radio communication and flying the airplane difficult. Having three of them behind your head playing, fighting, laughing, or just talking can't but make for a dangerous situation. Adults are hard enough to keep quiet during takeoff, landing, or maneuvering in a busy traffic environment. The last recommendation is for you to fly by the rules. Bending the rules on the number of passengers tells me you may be willing to bend the rules in the air, too. That may put you into an early grave and leave the kids without a father.
