However, there will be several other adults there, so that's is a bit of an assurance. I'm just not sure it's enough for me to feel comfortable with them going.
I really do wish he was responsible enough to take them for the weekend here and there..I could really use the break. I've had one weekend, my birthday, away from the kids since we split up in February. But if I have to worry about them the whole time...I dunno, it just doesn't seem worth it.

Suggest taking the kids out WITH him AND you for a fun day. Games, the park or whatever.
THEN take everyone out for a nice dinner. Make it a day to remember and maybe the two of YOU can ease some of the tensions between yourselves as well. But don't make a point of trying to do that in front of the kids.
All of that of course, is if he's willing to do that as well. There's also no point if you guys can't stand being in the same room together either obviously. The kids will be the ones who suffer most from that experience.
Be the bigger person and you can still make sure your kids are safe.
