Saturday after our 2 early morning soccer games, we headed about 3 hours east to Shoshone Falls. Those who have seen the falls when the water is flowing at its peak say it is well worth the drive. What they didn't tell us was that ALOT of other people have friends who told them the same thing.
What should have been a 2 minute drive form the main highway turned into a 1 1/2 hour wait, complete with police telling you that tomorrow would have been a better day to come. There is only a short window - a week or so to see them at their Very High status and even those who live in town, were taking no chances.
We took the school bus to the lookout point and then proceeded to look at every angle we could. When we went out to the viewing deck - Gage is yelling at me to look at the rainbow. He sees the water but the rainbow is what fascinated him. I was trying to take pictures and listen to him, take a picture of that, nana but he always came back to the rainbow. We took some video even though the snack bar had a DVD for sale of the falls. Their version doesn't have little voices in the background, wouldn't be much fun.
Miss M was a bit afraid so we hung out on the grass while everyone else took another path to see a bit more. After everyone was satisfied and a bit hungry, we headed out to get something to eat before heading back home.
I'm pretty sure I would have seen the rainbow even if it hadn't been pointed out to me but having it pointed out to me was better. No Hollywood special effects here just the Glory of the only One who could have made it. I think that was what Gage was trying to tell me even if he didn't realize it. Look at the rainbow, nana - look. wysiwyg - what you see is what you get. The more you see, the more you understand and the bigger the rainbow, is...
