I love to see what other moms are preparing for camping meals! I also prep as much as I can ahead of time, to cut down on prep time and dishes/water consumption since we are boondocking! We are leaving later today and this time I prepped ahead chicken fajitas, loaded tacos meat to have on top of nachos, I always do a fruit & veggie platter and salad, coleslaw, etc. I leave it to my husband to prepare the steaks, hotdogs and burgers on the grill lol but I do cut up ahead of time all of the fixings like lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cooked bacon slices, etc. This time I also have a surprise for my family, I will be making banana splits one night as a treat! Also brought candies, chocolate and marshmallows for smores lol. I feel like half of the fun is all of the good foods we eat while camping! Food is always the most important thing, we need to have more than enough just in case we have neighbors and want to share :)

I love how you said in your introduction, "...who loves the Lord," meaning you, who loves the Lord. Thank you for your tutorial. // SHLM & HaB (peace & love). The Name of the Creator is Hayah asher Hayah, as what He told Moshah (Exodus 3:14), preserved in the Hebrew Scriptures. There is a curse to the G-o-d name (Isaiah 65:11-12), preserved in the Hebrew Scriptures. All followers of the Messiah are to do the 7 appointed times (Leviticus 23), but no more animal sacrifices, following the Crucifixion of the Messiah. We are now of the order of MLK TSDQ (King, righteous), to Whom ABRaHM tithed. Ask the Messiah to be your personal Savior. He said to him, I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me (John 14:6). All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of Hayah (Romans 3:23). The wages for sin is death but the gift of ALaHYM is Everlasting Life through Messiah Yahushgh our Master (Romans 6:23). That if you confess with your mouth the Master Yahushgh and believe in your heart that ALaHYM raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved (Romans 10:9). He Himself is an Atoning Offering for our sins, and not for ours only but also for all the world (1 John 2:2). The Messiah died on the cross, & Resurrected three days later (presenting Himself as First Fruits to the Father). Please ask Him to be your Savior. He is the ONLY way to Everlasting Life.

The grocery store that has the best deal on coloring books is Forks Grocery Store. There is one in Shipshe, but we go to the one in Middlebury (because we like the park across the street.) It's only a 5 minute drive from Shipshewana probably. You can also get coloring books at Country Road and E&S used to but I haven't seen them there recently. Yoder's Department Store too, but everything is more pricy there. I love Yoder's but we started going there last because sometimes I see the same thing at other stores for $5+ less.

If they do not have a line going out to your area (state), you may be out of luck. But I agree that you should definitely let them know you have an interest. If they do have a line coming out to your area and you just don’t have any drop coordinators, you could become one yourself. It’s a commitment and work for sure, but that would be a way to do it. I live in NH and waited well over a decade for them to bring the Wren line out here. I have a drop about 55 minutes from me, which is great, but at some point in the future I am highly considering setting a drop in my area and running it. If I remember right, I think there has to be a minimum of a $500 order for them to do a drop ship. The customer needs to spend at least $50 to partake in the order. The drop can be public or privately set. Best of luck to you! I just picked up my second order the other day and let me tell you, I am just in my happy place with my home grocery store. I absolutely love them. I won’t be able to partake in all of their produce, but I’m happy to be able to get what I can and support a wonderful small family owned business with high standards. Hope you get a line/drop out in your neck of the woods soon.
