Day 2....

Today was all about digging
... and digging
With some bucketing
There was jackhammering
... and jackhammering
We moved rocks
... and moved rocks
We dug quite a hole
Oh yes.  We found one or two fossils
...mainly whilst jackhammering


We built a sandbag wall


... and did more jackhammering


... and jackhammering
