Several of the stories we write about took place on the Sellner farm, however we do not limit ourselves to only creating memories there. Here are a few stories that occured in places other than the farm:
1. One time we were in the "bubble" at Gustavus to watch Sonni play in a tennis match. We decided to occupy ourselves in the balcony above the tennis courts by playing ping pong. Little did we know our ping pong game was going to get really intense and the ball was flung down into some random tennis match going on below. The tennis players, very concerned for our entertainment, stopped their match to chuck the ball back up to us. We laughed until the mother of one of the girl's who was standing two feet from us exclaimed "that's not funny!"....then we laughed even harder.
2. Another time we were gathered at Herman Heights for our annual family picnic.(it's only a family picnic if Bernice is there!) The giant Herman the German statue was supposed to be open as it was Labor Day...however, the lame slacker workers decided not to show up, in which case we were bound and determined to climb to the top of the statue. That day, we came to the realization that fences mean nothing to us...we broke into Herman the German and climbed the dang statue to satisfy our traditions..
