It will be fine. Just clean off the airlock and sanitize it, and be sure to clean everything else up (the top of the lid, etc). When it's active, the yeast form an active cushion of CO2.

If you have a blow off tube, I would use that next time. I always start my brews with the blow off tube in a bucket of sanitizer, and when fermentation slows in a day or so, I put the airlock on. Just remember, as soon as you get that blow off tube off, clean it! Those things get nasty quick and if allowed to dry, a pain in the arse to clean. Sounds like the yeast are very happy, cheers!
