Jim has some good advise and TD knows his tubes.
You say you grew up fishing Henry's, then you know how that lake can get real ugly real quick. More so than any other lake I fish, probably because it is so shallow.
If it were me, I would look for a nice boat in the 12' to 14' range. Then buy a few donuts or whatever. Put an electric motor on the boat. Let the kids fish off the side of the boat in the tubes, that way is the weather changes, you can get them all together quick. I bet one will want to hang out in the boat with dad.
I just say this because I have got blown way out on several occasions, and as Jim mentioned I had oars AND a motor. It was hard getting back, and you will have three out there floating around.
Just my thoughts.
