Parents... Please Remember This:

The kids are here to have fun! You are planting a seed (so to speak) into their 'special chilhood memories'. If you constantly badger them, tell them that they can't go in the General Store (which is specifically a kids store), or as is the case with a few "Macho Dads", tell them that the Gem Mine is not real... you then destroy the enchanting illusion of that Beautiful Weekend Trip into the Country! We all have great childhood memories. This is your chance to give this "special gift" to your children.
