This was a fantastic shopping experience! I went in to Just Kidding Around to find the perfect gift for my seven year old and walked out with gifts for almost everyone I know. This store has a wide variety of toys for kids of all sizes. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the owner is a delight!
