Two things.

#1 - It looks like Tate is pooping in the garbage can. I find that hilarious.

#2 - The cool-looking circular holes in the sandstone are called Tafoni and are caused by the interaction of the salt water ions with the sandstone. It dissolves the cement that holds the sand grains together and loosens the grains. I don't remember WHY they form circular holes, but they do. And there's a lot of it in Australia. Supposedly there's some on Ayers Rock, which, of course, must have been near the ocean, once. Cool. :)

Love hearing about your adventures, keep it comin'!
