I haven't been to north rim of GC yet, but hope to go soon. Maybe this July.
On a trip I took to Bryce and Zion, I camped just a few miles W of Bryce at Red Canyon. Red Canyon has some nice trails. One in particular that I greatly enjoyed was the Arches Trail; the views are great and the climb is not too long or too difficult.
Bryce is nice, but I regret not taking the horse ride down into the canyon; your family would probably love this.
And as mentioned previously, the hike up the slot canyon (wading in the Virgin River) at Zion is not to be missed if you are there. Plan about 6 hours for this hike, I think. Rent water boots (5-10 Canyoneers) and stuff at a shop in town for the day. Zion will be hot, but it's quite a bit cooler in the slot. Your kids will talk about this hike for years to come, I bet.
Nearby Cedar Breaks is like a mini Bryce Canyon, only you just view it from the rim. At very high elevation, so it will be cooler there if other places are too hot for you.
