Camping - Haywire Bay

For the Victoria Day long weekend we went camping with a number of other families to a local municipal campground on the far side of Powell Lake. I decided early I was going to learn to use my camera which I have had for well over a year - i think over two years and maybe even three - I just don't know. Below is my attempt to use the PhotoStitch feature which you can use to make multiple photos look like one big wide photo. I think if you click on the photo it will open up bigger - I don't have time to test it.


The first photo is our group campsite. Yes, the boys are really roughing it with their Pokemon battles on their Nintendo DS. And I am not sure you can make it out a theatre was set up in the back there (the big white sheet hanging from the trees) since one of our fellow campers brought a projector - yeah, I know - we were really roughing it in the bush.
 


Ella and I took some of the boys for a walk in the woods. We didn't get far - but not because of Ella. Two of the boys, Wyatt and Alex, got tired and wanted to head back. This photo was maybe a a 5 minute walk from our campsite - we hung out at the fallen tree for quite a while.

 



 

And here is First Beach - its part of the campgrounds. In the far distance you can see the mouth of Powell River (not the town, the actual river). The kids would take rubber dingies to the littel island across from the beach and hang out there - I haven't confirmed it but some of the other campers were calling it Honeymoon Island - I'm not sure that is its official name.
