Beggs Pumpkin Patch | October 2021

Our yearly pumpkin patch trip didn't go to plan with all the rain we have gotten recently. The patch we go to is at Beggs Family Farm in Sikeston, MO and although we couldn't take the tractor-trailer ride over to the pumpkin patch due to muddy grounds they still made it a great time. They have many activities for the kids to do from the animals, jump house, corn maze, games, and more!

They have a huge covered black slide that the boys ride down on James' lap every year. This was the first year they both were brave enough to try it by themselves and they had so much fun! It's a very tall slide but they walked the stairs many times for it. They made me so nervous (mainly Axel) on the obstacle course. They are a little clumsy so I was flinching the entire time. Haha.

The corn maze was pretty short this year. It usually towers over me so you know it's short when I can see the marker posts throughout it. Haha. They always do a game and this year was a monopoly year. Each post has a hole puncher for your monopoly card to mark off each location. We have never fully gotten through them before because the boys get bored, but you can really tell how much they're growing up with how far we got this year in the game. The furthest I think we ever have before.

Axel was super excited to feed some animals. The goats are living their best life here. They have their pin in the nice shade and have steps for them to go upstairs in their coop to the head holes. So you have goats on both levels sticking their heads out for food until they're done. It's so funny watching them pop their heads in and out. The weather was beautiful and the boys had a blast. We still were able to pick out pumpkins from their patch upfront before we left from the selection they brought over. The boys both wanted "big" pumpkins this year which were really fun to carve. Check out our pumpkin carving this year in another recent blog. We had a great time and I can't wait until next year!
