Will is finally old enough to go to Pumpkintown, and admittedly, the curiosity was slowly killing me. I drive past this location a few times a week on the way to the studio -- Since opening last week Will has shrieked with delight every time we've driven past. I think Hank keeps this joint open for a few more weeks, so a few more stops are in order but we made need to hit the alternate routes to avoid stopping every time. A few suggestions should you plan to stop in:
Throwback post - Hey Kids--Here's some corn, go get lost...
- Hank only wants you to eat and drink HIS nosh, so keep your pocket tots at home.
- Be prepared to not be able to get your kids out of the giant wooden playthings that were crafted just exactly too small for any normal sized adult to manage.
- The pumpkins are a wee bit over-priced.
- Have crafty bribe ideas for when it's time to depart...

Oh we have versions of Pumpkintown here in San Francisco but I blindfold my kids before we pass by so I don't have to stop and shell out $47 for a pumpkin.
Instead we drive 40 miles down the coast and head to Mr. Cranky's Pumpkin Patch where the service sucks but we can load up the car with beautiful pumpkins and gourds for $3.00.
Love your blog by the way...
