We went on June 1st up to Paradise (the highest point you can drive to, 5400') and there was still 135" of snow on the ground.
The NPS site says that during August that area is supposed to be grassy meadows. Depending on how far you are willing to hike I would bet you could find some snow or ice.
I'm not sure how far the Muir snowfield is from paradise, but it didn't look too terribly difficult from the maps.
I would definitely go again, and I'm not an outdoors person.

The trail to panorama point would likely put you in snow areas. But NPS rates that hike as strenuous, so it depends on the kids.
The late snow season had a ton of snow on the trail in mid July from what I've heard, so I'm guessing you won't have to get all that close to the snowfield to get to some.
