n86121 is on a distinguished road
As owner of an RSTOL ref 4 kids

If you can find a Robertson STOL (as is mine)
your gross takeoff weight goes up to 4700 lbs.

IF you takeoff full, 128 gals, 768 lbs, and 3k empty weight,
that still leaves you 932 lbs of people and stuff.

WARNING - If you keep feeding your children, THEY WILL GET LARGER.

Considering your options realistically:

Feed all four children less.
Feed some children more, and others much less.
Marry a tiny woman

For my family of four, and large afghan hound, and two violins, and a cello,
and 50 lbs of planting baskets, and tiles to redo the beach house kitchen,
and the kitchen sink (literally), was fine.

But I keep 3rd row seats in basement, so can carry 365 lbs of ..whatever.

Fellow I bought mine from years ago took out the 2nd row seat passegner side,
to make rear seats easy to access. But that's only five.

One child will have to go.
