little people, big world

This weekend was an absolute blast. Saturday involved a lot of lounging and watching the duck game. Sunday I found myself at Roloff Farms.

If you recognize that name, it's because it’s the family featured on TLC's Little People Big World. Their farm is in Helvetia, OR which is mere miles from where I live.

Having watched most of the episodes over the years, it was completely surreal to be standing on the same property that has been home base of one of my favorite shows. The best part? Most of the family was there working! Molly took our tour tickets, Zach drove one of our tour wagons and Matt's parents were hunkered down in the family's infamous western town. Amy was busy taking photos with fans, Matt hobbled by every once in a while and the family dog kept busy running amongst the crowds.

It was surreal. If you've seen the show, you must make a visit. It will entertain you for hours and I promise it won't disappoint!

I've been wanting to go out here for a while! I should really try to make it one of these weekends!

every year i debate whether or not to go to this farm. was it crowded? i hear it's always super-packed! but it looks like you had fun chatting it up with one of the show's stars! :) very cool.

Stop debating and go! Yes, it gets a little crazy. If you go when it first opens, that's your best bet. But there's plenty of parking and lots of space so you don't feel that crowded.
