Pumpkins!

We went to the pumpkin patch this weekend... but we didn't go to just any pumpkin patch. We went to Roloff Farms, home to the Roloff family as featured on "Little People, Big World" on TLC.



In addition to picking our pumpkins (which included one for Luna, of course), we took a tour of the Western Town on their property. If you watch the show, you know what I'm talking about.



I was amazed at the attention to detail - each store had detailed props. My favorite was the post office, with little letter compartments filled with letters and parcels designed to look old-fashioned.




Chris' mom, sister, and I chatted with Molly Roloff a bit about the props. Though some of it was done by the family, they have an artistic designer who helps with the creativity.



After the tour, we picked our pumpkins. It amazes me that the family opens their home every day to millions of people who watch the show, and are still so welcoming to the thousands of visitors during pumpkin season. It was a great way to kick off our fall!
