Locus Gear - Khafra Full Mesh

I have used both a triplex (on the GDT with my wife and baby) and a locus gear khafra 4p mid tent for a LASH on the PCT (with wife, 4 year old, baby).  Not the same age as your family but honestly I think the older kids will be easier.  The triplex is nice having an integrated bug net. It's spacious. It's also a pain in my opinion to pitch. But at least you can open the vestibules and get some breeze. The 4p mid was roomy. I made a perimeter net and a floor of my own. The weight was the same as the triplex and the footprint more or less the same. But having a perimeter net, if you open the door for ventilation there is no bug protection. it has bomber head room though.  You can get a full inner for those tents. Those are just heavier than a perimeter net. Also look into tarptent options.  All depends on your style and objectives.
