Hi, You didn't mention the age of the kids, but I'm going to assume they are young if they are both going to fit into your canoe with you and your wife. Ok, the kids are the dictating factor here! Plan food they'll like or you'll end up packing up early! A few suggestions from when I Took kids out paddling/backpacking.... with 3 days, you don't need freeze dried or dehydrated. Breakfast- baccon, eggs, spuds, hot chocolate, pancakes(no blueberries yet), bagels & cream cheese(get the smaller sized spreadable container that is sealled with tin foil. It'll keep if you don't break the seal for a couple of days) Lunch- sandwiches, wraps, cheese, salami, grilled cheese, bagels take some soup packs incase it's rainy/cold, make soup/stew/chilli at home and freeze it in containers Snacks- crackers/cheese, veggies &dip, licorice, pringles, trail mix dinner- steak/chicken as above, smoked sausages, pita-pizzas, buritos, taccos..... campfire snacks- 'spider dogs' (hot dog with the ends sliced lengthwise in quarters, stuck on a stick and roasted on the fire- the kids like watching the ends curl around from the fat dripping), bannock on a stick, bananna boats
