Now that the twins are 18, Matt and Amy finally feel they can take a trip and leave them in charge - sort of. After giving the kids a long list of rules and stern warnings, Matt and Amy go to Hawaii with their friends, Rob and Amy Haines.

Zach and Jeremy are having a hard time balancing their social life with academics in their senior year. The twins help pack the house when their buddy's band performs at a local coffee shop, but they can't seem to cram in enough study time for the SAT.

The pumpkin season of 2007 was a stressful time on Roloff Farms. Matt and Amy went on vacation, missing the first week of business. Mat left an assistant in charge, but it didn't take long for the family to run afoul of their new boss.

Still coping with the loss of his friend and business partner, Mike Detjen, Matt decides to complete their last big project together: the new and improved trebuchet. Matt hopes to finish it in honor of his late friend.

For Matt and Amy, Jacob has always been their most challenging child. He's a good student and soccer player, but acts out, sulks and annoys his siblings. When Jake uses profanity in front of Amy, she comes up with a creative way to discipline him.

Expecting to break every attendance record, Matt makes big investments in preparation for the new pumpkin season. But when opening day brings just a handful of visitors, Matt wonders if he's made a huge mistake.

Back when the Roloff twins were still Juniors, they were all about having fun. Amy tries to instill some basic skills like cooking, but the twins are too busy thinking about dating, driving and getting tattoos.

Pumpkin season gets underway, but when Zach has a near-catastrophic tractor accident on the same day that Jeremy is promoted to tractor supervisor, tensions build between the twins. Meanwhile, a giant tortoise named Ferdinand escapes the new petting zoo.

Matt recalls his 2 trips to Iraq, where he and Dr. Hoffinger gave much-needed medical aid to an Iraqi family's dwarf children. Matt interacts with soldiers, dines with a Sheik and receives an honorary commission from the U.S. Army.

This pumpkin season turns out to be the biggest ever for Roloff Farms. Facing capacity crowds, Matt tries to supervise his oversized and inexperienced staff, and finds that his micro-managing only serves to create more stress for everyone - especially him

In the fall of 2005, the Roloff men went on a camping adventure in the Oregon wilderness, while Molly and Amy stayed home for some girl time. This fresh look at unseen moments recalls a time when life was simpler for the Roloffs.
