[narrator] Previously on Little People Big World.
Last night was rough.
[Tori] R-U-FF ruff.
I'm literally dying.
[Zach] Josiah is four and a half months,
and we've been trying to sleep train him for a while.
And it's... it's been tough.
Anyway, the date night, I could use one.
This moment in time is harder for her.
So, I want to get her out of the house.
We need to go on a date.
[Zach and Tori] Lilah.
Lilah.
[Zach] Lilah's definitely a daddy's girl
and she won't let Tori and me
show any form of affection in the house.
This is why we need a date night.
I need to be alone with my man.
Hey.
Hey, hey, hey.
Chris and Amy are going to talk about
their involvement in pumpkin season.
We do have a lot of people requesting the private tours,
and we haven't opened up that schedule at all.
That's not going to be, you know, here during the tours
and it's not going to be during pumpkin season, so.
We're hoping that Chris is interested in filling some of that role.
I'd be open to that. I'd...
[Amy] Knowing how this whole farm thing went down,
I think we're all trying to figure out this is still family,
but how do we interact with that family now?
So you said you had a big plan B.
The farmhouse sale is, you know, still out there.
-Interest rates are going up again. -Yeah.
So it doesn't look like there's anything on the horizon.
Anything that, anything going to happen anytime real soon, I don't think.
The farm sale.
There's a lot of things that I don't have any control or influence on.
I think some of it I expected,
some of it's a little bit of a surprise.
You feel like you get hit in the head with the hammer
and it wakes you up.
It's time to maybe do something different with the farm.
I'm just noodling on all the options right now.
It's a huge decision,
but something's got to change.
I'm really kicking around my plan B.
Are you thinking about taking it off the market then?
Maybe.
High-end real estate market has totally taken a tank.
It's just a matter of that. It's a tough, tough time.
I'm going to move to plan B now.
So I am going to pivot.
Plan B is to do short-term rentals.
We found that there is a company
that would hook, line and sinker manage
the, um, the short-term rental program.
The big house and some lawn around it
create a... "Wow, this could be a really good three day stay."
And so it's not intermingled
with all the complexities of the farm.
I haven't really gone into that with you
because I know you don't like it.
[Caryn] When you keep talking about retirement,
starting another business wasn't really something
you were looking to do right now, but I get it.
It can't just sit here and stay empty forever either.
Right.
The house itself is definitely conducive
to being a great short term rental
for multiple people to go in on.
I think so too.
But there are no furniture in here.
Yeah.
We do the short term rental concept, I got to buy it.
If it's done right and it's successful,
it could keep the farm
in the family for a really long time and still--
-That's the big advantage. -Yep.
Trying this short term rental,
to have that bringing in a little income to offset the expenses,
I could maybe keep ownership of the house indefinitely
and that would mean it would stay in the family.
Everything happens for a reason.
The perfect buyer didn't happen upon it.
So you're always good about having a plan B.
[Matthew] A little apprehensive,
letting people on your property.
You kind of worry about what they're going to get themselves into.
The short term rental, you know, totally different business
than Matt's ever done before.
And I am a little bit nervous
that not having
control of who comes
and goes to the farm might aggravate him a little bit,
but hopefully, he'll... [laughs]
...he'll sustain and it'll all work out.
Are you going to tell everybody
about that you're switching gears
or you're just going to do it or...
No, I'm going to tell everybody.
I just... You don't want to wait till it's official.
I mean, I'm still in the decision process.
I mean, I have no idea what their reaction might be
and I'm not worried about what everybody else think.
I'm going to pivot the house in the south,
the market is kind of sagging.
So, this could be the next step.
[Caryn] Always a big decision.
[Tori] Can you open the door for me?
Look at, she's coming through the door.
Who's that?
Can I come in?
-[Lilah speaking] -[laughs] Yeah.
Hi. Hi. Hi.
Murph... Murph.
You got to brace yourself with him.
[Tori] You guys... Did you guys say hi to Mimi?
No, because he doesn't say hi to me anymore, do ya?
Are you excited about going out?
So excited.
[Amy] Where are you guys going?
WildFin. Just on the waterfront.
[Amy] Have you been there before?
Yeah, we've been there.
Three kids in the house.
You know, we're always kind of tired at night,
and now Tori's exhausted.
You know, we're trying to sleep train Josiah and like, once...
just, you know, it's tough at the end of the day,
but we're pushing ourselves tonight.
We're going to go out, have a good time.
Really pushing ourselves to go eat a hot meal and be alone.
Yeah. We're actually running out of the house.
Yeah, we're actually sprinting.
Yeah.
[Amy] That's a cute dress.
[Tori] She picked it out.
[Amy] Are you serious?
-I mean, it fits her well. -[Tori] I know.
-See, we don't go out a lot, Chris and I. -[Tori speaking]
-You don't go out a lot? -My booty.
-No, we don't. -[Zach speaking]
We've been gone a little bit this summer,
-but we don't, but we don't go out to dinner. -Italy, Spokane.
The whole point being is that when we go out to eat...
But you guys also are alone all the time.
We're never alone, ever.
Oh, well, that is true.
We cannot have a conversation if the kids are awake.
-It's impossible. -Yep.
[indistinct babbling]
So it's, like, necessary to go on dates
just so we can have a conversation.
It's almost weird when we go on dates,
because then we actually, like continue...
It's like when you go from, like, texting to talking,
let's call each other and actually, like, have a full sentence.
[laughs] Yeah.
[Tori] Okay. Well, if we're going to...
Am I supposed to be getting ready or...
-[Amy] Yes. -I'm going to go get ready.
No, you look good. Lilah.
You got to hold out your hands and grab it.
Okay. I'm going.
I did not find anything for date night.
That's usually how it goes for me.
Zach says, "Go shopping," and I don't find anything.
Zach says, "Don't go shopping."
And then I find everything.
So I think I have enough clothes at home to figure it out.
It's fun to get dressed up every once in a while,
put some effort into how I look.
Zach and I love doing date night.
We've tried to make it a priority.
I think that it just keeps us more connected.
[Zach] Lilah, go with Mimi.
Hi there, big guy.
[Tori] I think that that would be really sad
if, like, Zach or I didn't want to spend time with each other.
Like, we tell our kids, like, especially Jackson,
he'll ask, like, why do you have to go on a date?
Why can't I come with you?
And, you know, we tell him you're so lucky
and blessed that you have two parents
that want to spend time together
and want to go on a date with each other,
because not all kids have that.
Not everyone has that relationship.
Okay, you'll have to help me decide what jacket.
Oh, wow. You look nice.
Thank you.
[Zach] You're stoked?
[Tori] Stoked.
There's a lot of chaos going on in Jackson's room...
I can hear it.
-I'm ready to go. -I can hear every minute of it.
-This jacket? -Perfect.
-Love it. -Yeah?
Tori looks great on date night.
Tori put a lot of effort in and...
That's why I don't put a lot of effort in.
You look great, Tori.
-So special on date night. -Aww.
Is this jacket better?
-[Lilah speaking] -What?
-No. -I like the green.
-Really? -Yep.
-Wait. You like... -But there's too many colors with the green.
I mean, that looks nice.
[Zach] Okay, perfect.
Mimi, Mimi, call us if you need anything.
-Your phone's here. -[Lilah speaking]
[Amy] Okay.
Give me a kiss.
Love you. Bye.
-[Lilah speaking] -Bye-bye.
[Lilah speaking]
I've decided to go ahead and, you know,
pivot and turn the farmhouse into a short-term rental.
I think it's the best decision for me
and, you know, for the farm at this time.
You know, at some point I can let the family know,
but right now, I'm going to be focused on pumpkin season.
And so I'm really, really busy
checking on everybody's projects around the farm.
-Sven. -[Sven] Yo.
Holy moly!
Well, I was thinking when the tractors drive
through the Christmas barn that we have snow on the ground.
-[Matthew] Okay. -[Sven] Yeah?
[Matthew] I love it.
I think that'll look so cute to have the coffee and the mug.
-[Matthew] How's it going down here? -[Caryn] Good.
[Matthew] Caryn, that looks very good, you guys.
[Caryn] It's coming.
This year for pumpkin season,
we're kind of dividing and conquering
on all the different phases of it.
I am handling the employees and the schedule
and the back office computer system.
So I do love pumpkin season.
I've been doing it for so long.
I stepped back for a while,
put my toe in, now I have my leg in.
So you know, but Matt and I work well together,
and so sometimes it's just a matter of listening to him
and talking through some idea that he has.
[Matthew] Let's let Jodi set that up.
We're going to check out a couple of things.
-Now? -Yeah.
This year, you know, with dad passing
and checking on my mom and being in Arizona,
we're... we've just been playing catch up all year long,
it's been a crazy year.
Somebody told me the sidewalls were going to get anchored.
[Matthew] Yeah, they're waiting
for some string or something.
Oh, somebody's got to get the balls out...
I need to get a paper and a pen.
This Boogie Forest sign
-has to go out. -[Matthew] Yeah.
That thing has to be moved.
Oh, this has to be done as a photo vignette.
Well, this is bad. [laughs]
You know, it's coming together,
but there's a lot of millions of little, teeny things
that need to happen.
This bird's missing a screw.
Yep.
[grunting]
There's a tennis ball, if you want to try it.
Okay.
Hey, not bad.
-Good job. -All right.
Back to work.
There's a lot to do for pumpkin season tomorrow.
We're going to move the pirate ship over to the south side of the farm.
This year, you know, we're going to really kind of step up the air cannons.
They were a big success last year.
But we're going to, we're going to step it up
by having the air cannons fire at the pirate ship.
I invited Chris to come over
and, you know, watch the guys move the pirate ship.
I know he's going to get a big kick out of that.
Pull up, so I can at least look at Amy's thing,
what we might do there.
So I think a bench and then a couple of hay bales
and some pumpkins, but there's always a sign behind her.
[Matthew] Amy and Chris are going to participate in pumpkin season this year,
and I'm very happy about that.
Yeah. Amy will have an area set up to greet guests,
like she does, and Chris will be, um,
you know, doing tours, the wagon tours and some private tours.
That vignette can be set out. All this can't be here.
[Matthew] But Zach and Tori,
they're not planning on participating in pumpkin season.
You know, of course, Zach will be missed.
Hi, J!
[Matthew] With Zach, you know, there's plenty of roles
he could have carved out, but he's making his own decision.
And Zach's a grown man and with his own family, his own priorities.
So, you know, I, as the father, totally understand that.
That's just unfortunate and it's sad.
The family dynamics change
and, you know, Zach and Tori have moved away
and Jeremy's busy with his farm over here.
But, you know, then I've got Jacob and his wife.
We got Isabel and Amy and Chris
still want to be very involved.
So, life has changed and I've accepted that
this is where we are at now.
But it's not easy.
[narrator] Coming up.
It's been great with three. It's hard at times.
But I do feel underappreciated.
[Tori speaking]
You've been doing great with Josiah and..
It would just be nice to hear it.
[narrator] And later...
Are you tour guiding?
Matt opened up that he might want to do private tours.
Would you hold it against me if I did?
[Zach] I don't know.
I don't care really.
[people chattering]
You two have a good dinner, okay?
-Thank you. -All right. Thank you.
Ooh, it is a little chilly out here, though.
Um...
This is your favorite place, though, right?
I do love me some WildFin.
You don't have to rush.
-I'm not rushing. -You don't have to order.
The minute this guy shows up, we can, like, chill.
Isn't that weird?
Zach is notorious for us sitting down at family dinners
and him being like, "All right, know what you're going to order?
When she comes around, we're going to order right now."
This is basic. So this is basic.
And when we're on a date night,
he, like, wants to do that.
But I'm like, no, just like, sit here.
Let's get an appetizer.
Let's get a drink.
We're not in a rush.
-Cheers to date night. -Cheers to date night.
-Kidless. -Yeah.
-That's good. -Yeah.
Do you remember that day, me and you went on to Rock Creek Tavern?
You were being so nervous for that date.
-Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. -It was on our very first date.
You opened the door for me,
which you never do that anymore.
Should've known.
I remember that date.
That was a good date.
Tori was my first girlfriend,
and no, I did not know pretty quickly that she was the one.
I have no romantic story on this.
Zach was not my first boyfriend.
I'll just leave it at that.
But see, Zach could go without having any previous girlfriends
because he knew what he wanted.
I clearly didn't know what I wanted.
She dated some interesting dudes.
Dated some interesting dudes.
Like highlights.
-They had highlights. -What? Highlights.
That prom photo you showed me,
-the guy had blonde highlights. -No. No.
-He was just blonde. -Yes, he did.
[laughs] No.
-Those were highlights for sure. -No.
That's the date that you said I make you feel tall.
Whoa!
Babe, you know, that's what I live our relationship off of.
That comment?
I go back to that comment when I'm like,
"Zach didn't do this. Zach didn't do that."
I go back to that comment.
I remember the first time I heard that I, like, teared up.
It was just like one of those moments
and I was like, "Aww.," like,
you know, I don't really like,
think that I need to make him feel tall,
like, he doesn't need to feel a certain way.
But the fact that I think he meant it more in, like,
I give him confidence and like...
you know, whatever it is,
I think that that was like,
that's all I needed to hear.
Like, that was really cool.
Oh, I've been dreaming about this
since last time I got it.
Mmm.
Oh, it's so good.
Yeah. Sleep training is tough, but I think we're coming out of it.
You know what I'm saying?
I think it's been great with three.
It's hard at times, but, like, it's all a natural progression, though,
because as it gets hard with Josiah needs more and more of us.
Jackson becomes more and more independent
and then Lilah will become more independent.
Yeah.
All right. You're upset with me or something?
No. Like I... Like, I do feel underappreciated.
You know I appreciate that, you know.
I know that you do,
but it would be nice to hear it more often.
You've been doing great with Josiah and...
It would just be nice to hear it, feel it, absorb it.
I like Tori because she takes care of our family.
She appreciates me and...
Yeah.
Why do you say it like it's so painful...
-'Cause it is. -It's so painful for you.
Roloffs don't talk about their feelings.
It just never feels genuine.
It's always like when I tell you that I need it.
Then you're like, "Yeah, you're great.
You're fine. It's been fine."
[both laughing]
I feel like I can't say anything.
You can't. You can't.
You have to say it when it's not.
I'm not saying anything, you're doing a great job.
Okay? Like...
Thank you.
If I'm not saying anything negative,
then that's like, it's positive, obviously.
-What? -You know.
That makes zero sense.
No, it's like... I, like, when I wake up in the morning...
This is what I'm talking about though, he internalizes it.
-He needs to... -No.
I wake up in the morning and she's like, "Why do you hate me?"
I'm like, I just woke up.
Like, I didn't say anything bad.
Like, I'm just, like, living, you know?
Like, we're just...
Have you read that book, Love Languages,
that our wedding counselor gave us?
Yeah... Words of affirmation.
What was your second one, though?
-Quality time. -What's mine, though?
What's my love language?
Physical touch.
-Oh, yeah. -Except, not in public, ever.
We can always have more of that, though, too.
I need more words of affirmation in my life.
Like, daily? Or like...
I mean, that would be nice if I'm doing good,
just, you know...
My gosh.
You should wake up every morning now, Tori,
and assume that you're doing great.
Like, I just don't say it every day, but it's like, just, I'm here.
Obviously, I appreciate you, like...
But see, that's where relationships go south.
-If I'm not being critical... -What is it?
Assuming makes an ass out of you and me?
Humans don't do that.
Like, I wake up every morning assuming that,
like, I'm in the hole.
It's the morning. How can you be in the hole?
Nothing's happened yet. Who's in the hole?
But that's why it's your job to tell me I'm not in the hole and that I'm doing well.
I'm going to wake you up tomorrow and be, like, you're not in the hole, okay?
-Like... -Thank you.
[Zach] I don't think to, like, give her affirmation every day
because some of the things she does for me, that's just what we do.
We're parents. Yeah.
I'm not going to say thank you every time you change the diaper,
but I do understand that that is her love language.
I've known this from day one.
You know, so it's something I have to get better at.
This is why we're so good together, though.
If you receive love by acts of service
and you give love, it makes sense.
-I give you flowers. -Well...
We were actually able to have some conversations,
reconnect, enjoy each other's time together, and...
I think that's what will keep our marriage strong
is we still actually like hanging out with each other.
Yeah.
How many years until Jackson can watch the kids by himself?
Yeah.
Well, this was amazing.
Yeah.
-I love you. -I love you.
-Cheers to date night. -Cheers.
[narrator] Coming up.
[Matthew] I'm a little worried about moving the pirate ship.
The ship approximately weighs about 25,000 pounds.
Oh, my goodness gracious.
If the ship jostles around,
those poles could literally rip that ship in half.
All right. There we go.
Let's go follow it.
-[Chris speaking] -Yeah, good seeing you.
Yeah. Thanks for inviting me.
Yeah. This is Jeff Morgan and...
-Hey, Jeff. -His son...
son Wyatt is kind of running the show,
but Jeff, I think, came out more for fun than anything.
But he moved the ark years ago.
Well, there's two giant reasons
why I'm moving the pirate ship over
where I'm moving it out in the field.
One is because I wanted to keep it
in case the north side sold.
So if nobody is buying the place
because of the pirate ship,
then I'll keep the pirate ship
and sell it without the pirate ship.
And the other reason is
because I want to shoot at it with the air cannons...
[Matthew speaking]
[Amy] One, two, three.
Whoa.
[indistinct] Amy, you went right for it.
[Matthew] Last year, we shot at an old junk car.
It was wonk, wonk, wonk, less than spectacular.
It's kind of the ultimate target
to shoot those tennis balls out.
I mean, whatever makes the guest happy.
I mean, entertainment value is everything, you know?
So if it breaks something,
I'm sure we can put it back together again.
-[Chris] It's coming up now. -[Matthew] All right. There we go.
Oh, my goodness gracious.
I'm a little worried about moving the pirate ship.
The ship approximately weighs about 25,000 pounds.
I'd say it's top heavy, you know.
If a ship jostles around,
it could, those poles could literally rip that ship in half.
[man 1] All right, now start catching that.
Coming back.
Keep coming, coming back.
[Matthew] Let's just hope the whole thing doesn't go ka-poop.
[Chris] Hard part is done.
[Matthew] Yeah.
Hard part is done.
The big relief that they were able to successfully
drop the pirate ship down onto the truck bed.
Now we just need to drive the pirate ship over to the new location.
[Chris] So, Matt, what's happening with the farm?
I am...
Brace yourself.
I plan to rent the farmhouse.
-Are you? -Short... short-term rental.
-Wow. -Yeah.
Oh, that's big news.
Have you told any of the family yet?
Mm-mm. Thought I'll let you do that.
Yeah, right.
No, I'm not doing that.
Well, I'll tell Amy and she'll do it.
Yeah. There you go.
I'll try to get to them and tell them.
Yeah.
[man 1] All right. It's rolling.
-Let's go follow it. -Yeah.
I'm glad they felt comfortable letting me know what his plans are,
but I'm not sure how the kids are going to take it,
whether they're going to be hurt or sad.
And if they are, don't want to be the one
to give them that news.
[Matthew] I mean, that's pretty cool, right?
-[Chris] It is cool. -[Matthew] Right?
Look at those... that up front mast, though.
Perfect.
[Matthew speaking]
-[Amy] Did you have fun? -[Chris] I did.
[Amy] I came to the farm because I'm thinking I had left a dog crate there
when I first got Felix,
and I wanted to see
if it was in any of the barns or anything
instead of me going out and buying a new one.
I finally found a dog that I'm thinking about getting.
I fell in love with her.
I think she's going to be perfect.
And so I'm hoping that Chris will like her, too.
Okay, babe, you had your excitement for the day.
[Chris laughs]
Oh, it was fun.
I'm glad I came out.
[Amy grunts]
Yeah. So, anyway, I've got to run back to the house.
I've got some work to do,
and then I guess we're going to go look at a pup later, aren't we?
Yes, we are.
We're going to check her out. Okay.
I'm going to look for a dog crate here
that I might have left just in case we get it.
You know, after Felix passed away,
I mean, it was just two days before a wedding.
Come here. Good boy.
And I miss not having that little fellow around.
I mean, just every day.
But I thought, you know, first of all, let time pass,
and now I think we're ready to get a dog, hopefully, you know.
Yeah.
-Be sure to be open-minded. -Yeah.
-It'll be good to go see her. -Yeah.
Chris isn't so sure.
I did get attached to Felix.
I mean, you know, he was a good dog,
but Amy wants to get a puppy.
She wants to get a young dog.
And so with that comes potty training.
I've never had to do that.
I've never had a young dog
that I've had to potty train
and I've never had a child that I've had to potty train
and I just know it's not going to be a fun experience.
He's got some, you know, fairly good points to it.
Thank you.
But I want Chris to come
and meet this new dog
that I would like to get.
So he's coming with me.
I knew you were out here.
You wanted to see the pirate ship, and...
I think you would have found it boring.
Oh, I know I would have.
I've never been out here for the whole thing,
except for the tower coming down.
Yeah.
I was going to say, no update on the farmhouse.
-Do you know? -Yes.
Oh.
-What? -So, yeah.
Um, because Matt didn't get as much interest
as he had hoped, you know, on the house,
um, he's going to open up for short-term rental.
Oh, yeah. He doesn't surprise me.
Well, I think it's actually kind of smart
because now the farm stays in the family.
It could be a nice little side income.
Yeah. Wow.
-Well, that's a big turn of events. -Yeah.
Yeah, that's huge. I was. I was really surprised.
That's going to be weird.
So anybody, you know, can be in the house now?
Yeah.
[Amy] I just still think it's unbelievable that
one of the boys doesn't have it
and this couldn't still be carried on with one of the...
Well, with one of the kids.
And, um, I don't know,
it just doesn't sit too favorably with me
that the end result is this is what he's doing with the house that,
you know, was such a big part
of raising the kids and the family.
Yeah. Yeah.
-It'd be interesting. -Wow.
[Chris] Yeah. Big change.
[Amy] You know, I'm not sure if the kids know or you know,
what their thoughts may be on it,
but, you know, that'll be something that,
you know, Matt should let them know.
I don't want to be that go-between anymore.
You know, whatever Matt does, he owns the property,
he owns the house and everything now, so he can let people know.
Okay. Anyway, all right.
All right, babe.
-Okay. I'll talk to you later. -See ya.
But that's interesting news.
-[Chris] It is. -[Amy] Hmm.
[narrator] Coming up.
[Amy laughing]
I think she likes me better than Amy.
I don't know. What do you think?
[Chris] It's your call, hon.
It'll definitely be Amy's baby.
Yeah, we'll see.
You're not going to help me out, are you?
I'm taking home a living, breathing creature.
I don't think that should be a willy-nilly decision.
Okay, babe.
You know, this is where I got Felix, did I tell you that?
[Chris] Yes, you did.
-[Abrie] Hi, there. -[Amy] Hey. Hi. How are you?
[Abrie] Good. How are you doing?
-Good. -Good. How can I help you guys?
-Well, I saw a dog yesterday. -Mm-hmm.
[Amy] You guys call her Viviana,
and so my husband was able to come today.
-Oh, awesome. -So...
Could you guys set up in her room with little Miss Viviana here
and we'll see how it goes?
[Amy] Chris was, you know, very hesitant about us getting a dog.
When it comes to stuff like this, he... he gets pretty serious.
[Chris] Well, it was important to me
that Amy was getting a dog that I could interact with as well.
I mean, you know,
it'd be horrible to have an animal in the house
that's afraid of me and...
Well, afraid of your height.
Well, and afraid of me in particular.
So first, I'd like to see if we get along well.
So it's kind of a test.
All right, you guys.
-So, I got Miss Viviana here. -Hey. Hey, you.
[Abrie] Our vet thinks she is some sort of terrier mix.
I would not expect her to get over 25 pounds,
but I would expect her to grow just for a few more months.
[Amy] I don't know. It's just something that... that when you find that dog,
when you look at the dog, you're like, "Okay, this is a possibility."
The one thing I really liked,
I think I saw on the photo was one ear went down,
one ear was up, and that was exactly like Felix.
And I thought, "Wow, that's kind of strange," you know?
[Chris] You know, they say that a lot of time, uh,
mutts, mixed breeds are more intelligent than a lot of purebreds.
What are you saying, girl? Could we be friends?
[Amy] At first, she just was hanging out with me
and wanting to be on my lap,
but then, you know, she... she slowly began to think,
"Okay, let me see if this guy, Chris, is okay,"
and she started warming up to him.
Yeah.
[Amy laughing]
[indistinct whispering]
I think she likes me better than Amy.
[Amy] Yeah. It's like as long as the dog likes him better than me
but I do all the work, he's fine.
-He's perfectly fine. -Yeah.
Oh, let's see if she wants to go play
or if she wants to hang right here next to papa.
I guess I found mine.
Where's yours?
Come here.
Good girl. Good girl.
[Chris] Now, could that be a problem when you take her for a walk?
[Amy] She'll need leash training.
Because if she was just running the streets,
she's not used to being contained like that.
I don't take this decision lightly.
And Viviana is a, is a little more bigger
than I had anticipated.
Like, is this going to be a small dog?
Because with me and my size, you know,
no, I can't manage a big dog.
Also, she's a little bit younger than I was trying to look at,
one to two year olds.
So all of those different things
were going through, you know, my mind.
I don't know. What do you think?
It's your call, hon.
I'm fine with it.
If that's the dog you want, I'm fine with her.
I mean, she obviously, she... We get along fine.
She seems to have a good temperament.
-Oh, look at that. -Hey, you.
She came back to you.
That's a good sign.
I'm taking home a living, breathing creature,
and I don't think that should be a willy-nilly decision.
You're not going to help me out, are you?
That's all up to you.
So what do you say, girl?
You wanna come home?
No, she's not afraid to lick my hand.
I will admit I'm a little nervous,
but Viviana reacted well with Chris,
and she never barked, she never growled.
She was just really well-mannered.
-Aw. -Good girl.
So my biggest hurdle,
hopefully, will be just potty training.
All right. I got your adoption contract with Oregon Dog rescue.
[Amy] I know. I'm signing my life away.
I'm going to name Viviana, Daisy because to me,
Daisy popped into my head.
She looks like a daisy.
-So, Daisy. -All right.
The very last thing is we'll just take a cute little family adoption picture
and you guys will be all set.
I am very excited to bring her home.
I think Daisy will be great.
I think she'll do well with the grandkids
and well with Chris and I in our home.
You want to be in the picture, too?
[Abrie] All right.
It'll definitely be Amy's baby.
[producer speaking]
I know. That's what I...
That's what I think, too. It's like, yeah, we'll see.
We're proud parents of a new little girl.
[narrator] Coming up.
[Zach] Are you tour guiding?
Just for a couple of hours a day
and Matt might open it up to private tours.
[Zach] Chris is doing the private tours.
Private tours is a good job.
Met a lot of cool people,
and I felt like I was good at it.
-Still not... -Oh, yeah. No.
No. I don't want to tick you off.
No, I'm not going to.
It's like, whatever.
[Lilah speaking]
Is Mimi coming over?
[Lilah speaking]
-[Amy] Do you want to get a leash just in case? -Yeah.
We have a travel bag for her.
-[Amy] Yeah. We got a child now. -Yeah.
[Amy] We came over to kind of hang out
with Zach and Tori
and see the grandkids and everything
and just enjoy being at their place,
and we brought Daisy with us.
Oh, Murph.
It's okay Daisy.
[Amy] My mom brought her new dog, Daisy.
This is the second time we're meeting her.
-She's a friend. She's a friend. -She's a little friendly.
She's very calm. Doesn't bark.
Not your typical puppy.
She warmed up pretty quickly, if I remember, right?
Stop taking the grapes, girl.
You're messing up my board.
[Amy] Hi.
[Chris] I brought salad and dessert.
-[Tori] Awesome. -[Amy] Look at all this.
Were you helping mama in the kitchen?
Did Daisy do good in the car?
She did. She didn't get sick.
Once she feels the more secure and safe
she feels as time goes on,
-I think she'll get a personality. -Okay.
So she just now, last night, for the first time, used the stairs.
-She was afraid to go up and down the stairs. -That's what I'm saying.
Okay, but now she goes up and hides out in the crate.
[Zach] But that's her safe spot.
It is. Yeah.
[Amy] Daisy is doing great.
[Chris] We did discover right away
when we got her home that she's definitely not potty trained.
And Amy has been taking her out for long walks.
And I sit out there for a half hour.
I mean, she gives her every opportunity to do it outside, but nope.
I have hope.
[Chris] She is going to add an interesting wrinkle and...
I like that.
-A wrinkle. -Yeah.
Life's just going to be a little more interesting.
Wow. This is a nice spread.
-[Amy] Tori. -Yeah, girl.
You knocked it out of the park.
[Tori] I mean...
[Amy] It's really great to be up here with Zach, Tori, and the kids.
I really don't want to spoil,
you know, having a good time
with Zach and Tori and family by bringing up
that Matt was doing a short term rental on the farmhouse.
I... I'm really not sure how the kids will respond.
You know, Matt may just want to let individuals know
as time comes or let everyone, you know,
all the kids know at one time.
That is something for him to do.
I just don't think it's my place anymore.
Lilah Ray.
Do I get to sit next to you?
-[Lilah speaking] -Yeah?
[Zach] You can start dishing up here, Mom.
Zach, you should switch Chris.
Okay. Well, I'll sit next to Lilah.
You got Jackson, I got Lilah.
And that way, Chris and I can go...
Okay.
Let's not do that.
No, thank you.
Do you want to see your mother-in-law mack it down?
Like, no one needs to see that.
I need my Excedrin.
-Um... -[Tori] Thank you for eating...
[Zach] Mom, thanks for coming up and watching the kids,
though, the another night.
-[Amy] Well, of course. -[Zach] The date night.
Yeah. I had to fend for myself...
Oh, what I wouldn't give to fend for myself.
-[Zach] I know. -I did not eat well that night.
This guy.
[Tori] What was it? What do we think?
Was it good?
-Excellent. Good job. -I like the salad a lot.
[Zach] Are you tour guiding?
Um, I wanted to ask you about that.
They're reducing the number of wagon tours down to three
and I'll be doing one just for a couple of hours a day.
And Matt opened up that,
you know, that he might want to do open it up to private tours
if anybody wanted to sign up.
-[Amy] Yeah. -[Chris] Um...
Are you still not...
-Oh, yeah. No. -No.
Would you, would you hold it against me if I did?
-[Zach] No, no. -Okay.
That's really what he's after.
He didn't wanna...
I don't, I don't want to tick you off.
No, no. I'm not going to...
You meet a lot of cool people in private tours.
Well, and that's, you know,
I would just do it for the experience of meeting some new people.
-All right, so you okay? -They don't want to hear your story,
but then you'll find yourself... "I want to hear your story."
Yeah.
Well, fortunately, you know, Zach, you know,
handled it well when I asked him about
whether he'd be...
If he is all right, you know, with me doing, um, tours, you know, private tours,
because that was his thing there on the farm
and, um, he seemed to be all right with it which I'm glad,
because that would have put me in an awkward position.
So, when you do a tour, what would you say are must stop,
must talk about?
Uh...
If it's kids, it's the cowboy town and castle.
Okay.
[Zach] If it's just an older couple, they'll probably just, like,
they like Mimi's garden and the house.
-[Amy] It's yum. -Hmm. Okay.
[Zach] Chris is doing the private tours.
You know, that's cool for Chris.
Like, I don't... Nothing against him, you know?
That's cool.
Private Tours is a good job.
Met a lot of cool people,
and I felt like I was good at it.
Hey, you guys for the next tour?
-[man 2] Yeah. -Yeah. Jump on.
Yeah. You get the wet seat. Mom and Dad get the dry one.
-Where are you guys from? -Texas.
All right, cool.
Out there is where we usually put our pumpkins.
And then this is like the fun zone.
That was a nice thing.
It was fun when it lasted, but it's over now.
There's a big demand for private tours.
I know that, you know.
Um, and yeah, when I stepped away from them,
you know, my dad kind of just wrote it off.
So, but, you know, my dad bringing back private tours...
trying to sell it off, like, it's the same thing
as me doing private tours, you know?
I don't know.
I just... I don't care really.
[Chris] So when we get closer to Halloween,
are you going to let Jackson sport his costume out at the farm?
I don't know if we're going to Pumpkin Season.
Yeah.
I don't know if we're going to go to Pumpkin Season.
Kids aren't really asking.
We might go on like an off day.
I don't... I doubt we would go this year.
Unless you, you know, go towards the end of the day one time,
but if you did that,
I'd have you over for dinner at our house.
I'm not sure if Zach and Tori and family
will make it out to Pumpkin Season this year.
I'll definitely be excited
if Zachary or Jackson were able to, you know,
come or something like that.
It seems like he's just pretty much written all that off.
He's... he's done with the farm and everything connected with it.
[Amy] I just think it's sad it has come to this point.
[narrator] Next on Little People, Big World.
Ah!
The tidal wave just over them,
and Lilah just, her world ended that day.
[Matthew] We are open for Roloff Farms Pumpkin Season celebration.
I really miss being able to have little Jackson wave people into the gate.
Yeah, wave. There you go.
I don't know if we're going to go to Pumpkin Season.
I don't really want to go, Tori doesn't want to go.
There's plenty of pumpkin patches up here to go to.
And she's not needed.
What do you think about this whole plan B idea?
Don't get me started on that, Matt.
I sent a text to everybody
saying I was going to go to plan B,
which was the short-term rental.
I didn't get any response like I don't most of the time.
I think it's a sad state of affairs.
[Zach] You know, the family,
everything could have just been different.
Instead, now he's renting it to strangers
and a lot of it just doesn't make sense, you know.
[Matthew] I have to make a huge announcement.
You have got to be high.
I can't see any of my kids doing that.
I would gamble my life on it.
