every year my dad's family goes to bear lake to camp for a family reunion. this year marked the 50th year of this tradition! the group that goes is called ALMGO - annie lane memorial geneological organization, in memory of my great-great grandmother. i am so grateful for this trip every year and for my AMAZING family! this beautiful lake is heaven on earth for me.
since i have been feeling so grateful for my family and this tradition, i took the opportunity last week to get to know my ancestors a little better. my great-great grandma annie rowe lane and my great grandma mildred lane kendall were the first two saints baptized in maine. they are two amazing and faithful women and i loved reading about them and their families, learning more about the events in their life and feeling of their personalities through the way they wrote.
i don't think we realize how much our ancestors have influenced the way our lives are now and the way we are who we are today. we owe so much to our ancestors!
