Little People, Big Pumpkins

This weekend Marcus and I went to the Roloff Farm. What's the Roloff farm, you ask? Well, have you ever heard of the television show Little People, Big World? The Roloff's own a Pumpkin Farm at their house that is open during the month of October. The family is from Oregon, and when we found out we were going to Oregon for school, we knew we had to go see it. We're HUGE fans of the show!

We were lucky the day we went, because it rained all day (in typical Oregon fashion) but when we made it to the farm in the afternoon, it was blue skies and all of the family was out! Our first stop was the gift shop and when we came out, there was a familiar face we couldn't wait to meet!

Amy Roloff is my favorite from the show. She's hilarious. We were lucky to snag a picture and an autograph with her. Here was our conversation:

Ashley: It's so nice to meet you! We are huge fans of the show!
Amy: I love your sweater, is it from Banana Republic?
Ashley: It's from H&M (I almost ripped it off my back and gave it to her).
Amy: Well I like it because it's smaller, you know me, I like short sweaters.
Marcus: Well Banana Republic is her 2^nd favorite store, maybe you guys should go shopping together?

So basically, me and Amy are going shopping next weekend.

Oh look, there's Zach, driving the tour tractor, and Jeremy. Ain't no thang. Actually, I screamed hello to both, while waving profusely, they looked at me like I was nuts. Maybe it's cause I am.

There's the TLC crew with Matt and Jeremy. The crew was around everywhere!

Picking out the perfect pumpkin, there was only about a gazillion to choose from. Which got me thinking...why do we spend so much time finding the “perfect” pumpkin. In two weeks it'll shrivel up anyways, right?

We took the tour of the place, and saw the house, their sa-weet soccer field (that they made just for Zach's team the Grasshogs to practice on before they went to Ireland, watch the show this season to see how they do!) basketball court, and volleyball court. I'd totally be there friend! And probably never leave. Then we went to Western town, one of Matt's many ideas.

At Western town we met Ma and Pa Roloff, and Molly! They were the nicest people! Marcus spent at least 10 minutes talking to Grandpa Roloff about law school and politics. It was hilarious.

And here's Molly's castle we saw, it was from this year's season premiere. It took Matt 10 years to make it,...Molly's now 16. I bet she'd rather have a cool car now.

We had such a great time! We're definitely making this into an October tradition.
