46. Saw an interview where a grandmother had taken her two children to the coast to see it.

The girl looked to be about 10 and the boy about 8. The girl was all excited about it! That thrilled me to see kids getting excited about itj and it was the grandmother who showed them how exciting it was. Probably made such an impression on her grandkids.
