At first, disappointing.
It was time for lunch so we went into the Lodge for yet another cafeteria meal (ugh) and afterwards decided to watch Old Faithful spray one more time. I enjoyed sitting out in the heat chatting with people. There’s a great feeling of anticipation in the air when everyone is watching…waiting…wondering…
A ladybug landed on Peanut and everyone enjoyed the distraction of us applauding her for being so lucky once again. “What do you wish, Peanut?” we all asked her. She sighed in pure heat-exhaustion-boredom and said, “for it to be 3 times taller, 3 times wider and 3 times longer this time.” For many, this was their first time witnessing Old Faithful and I shamefully admitted to them that it hadn’t lived up to my kids’ expectations.
Well, hell. Would you believe it burst up in all its glory this time around?! It seemed to us exactly 3 times better: taller, wider and lasting longer. The crowd cheered and we confirmed they’d definitely seen the BEST show, which pleased them all greatly.
