Today we showed the girls the highlights of Endicott … a carousel, the buildings that housed the once mighty IBM and the arch, erected by the workers of Endicott Johnson. Then we went to Pat Mitchell’s for some homemade ice cream. That’s about it for the highlights of Endicott. “Playing with Patrick” was the key activity for the entire stay in Endicott, and that included reading him bedtime stories.
Su couldn’t keep her hands off of one of the melons before we ate it.
In the evening we took the girls to the Cidermill Playhouse to see “The King and I”. They enjoyed the musical play, although I’m sure the producers and director of the play didn’t think there would be two young gals from Bangkok sitting in the audience criticizing the dress, the mannerisms, and the general authenticity. One of the gals mentioned that they could have done some research to get some of the clothing details right, etc. This play did give the girls a chance to get all decked out in the “nice dresses”. They had asked me what type of clothing to bring … and I said “jeans and shorts” …and you could bring a dress … but the only reason you would get to wear it would be if we were invited to a wedding. Well … since there will be no wedding this summer, this was a perfect opportunity for them, and it made us feel like it was prom night … and we were taking pictures of our two beautiful daughters … headed out for their big evening on the town.
