It is fun and exciting for them. We go through all of the store looking, although they will end up at the toy/coloring book section. I've had them spend an hour or more exploring and changing their minds, and come home with a big bag of 'stuff' to entertain themselves with. It's a fun lesson in counting, comparing value, etc.

What a great idea, Freeda!
Also, once they outgrow the playground at Lake Sumter Landing (after about age 6 for many kids), try the one in Lady Lake - it's nice and shady. Fruitland Park had a nice one, but completely in the sun, so depends on the weather. (Hope I didn't mix those up). Both are just a block or two off 441/27, on the west side. I can't give you the exact directions, sorry.
