Little People, Big Fun!



So, I'm a big fan of TLC's Little People, Big World. I was very excited to learn that their pumpkin farm is only a couple of hours away in Oregon and couldn't wait until this month because that is the only month the farm is open to the public. So since Derek and I both had the day off yesterday (and because the weather was cooperative), we decided to go check it out. Here's a bit of what we saw...


Entrance to the Farm


Roloff Farms


Lots and lots of pumpkins


One of the Roloff twins (Zach) driving a tractor tour. We also saw the other twin, Jeremy, driving a couple of tours as well. In addition to the twin Roloffs, we also saw Matt (the dad) and Molly (the daughter) while we were there...pretty neat!


Here we are enjoying our tour of the Roloff property


Western Town! Our tour stopped here and we were able to explore and chat with Matt's parents, Pa and Honey.


The newly remodeled Roloff house


This is the wood shop where Matt does all his collecting for his many infamous "projects."


This is the completed Castle that was built over the last 10 years for Molly.


They are currently filming new episodes for the show so we spotted a few of the camera crew.


We left our mark, as well as our hometown, on the map in Western Town.

There was so much to do on the farm; from picking pumpkins to visiting "Zootica" the petting zoo, to enjoying some freshly popped kettle corn. The family members that we did encounter were so friendly and so appreciative of everyone who was there. They were always smiling and thanking everyone for coming and being very cooperative with fans who wanted a picture. Roloff Farms was alot of fun and I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't make another trip before the pumpkin season is over...
