Oh goodness. Camping this year is so different than what it has been in years past. Not only are we down two kids (you'll find out why in eight years) but I'm also dealing with the disabled aspect.
I've had a guy actually shriek away from me while I was walking past him. Another guy wanted to run me over with his car, and so my husband was pleasant with him.
I have limited mobility. So I stay at the campsite because it is way too tiring to walk down to the pool. I've also found difficulty making my way to the bathroom. My husband walks me first thing in the morning as he knows my balance is off when I first wake up.
But this year I can't do the paddle boats, zip lining, golfing, laser tag, and I feel like I'm missing some other activities I'll be missing out on.
We are going to try tubing. So we shall see how that goes! The items I can't participate in, I'm still asking my family to go do it. I do not want to be the reason why they don't do something.
But when setting up, in the years past, I have helped with tents and the kitchen gear. This year I've graciously helped with setting up the kitchen.
It is very different having limited mobility and then not having your kids. I know some will speak ill of me, but that's their problem. Not mine.
