My Latest Adventures

I was eating cupcakes with my Kindergarten friend. The cupcakes had blue icing and they were good!
We are looking out the window, watching the snowstorm. I was happy to be in a nice warm house with my friend.

nOak Lake Community Song: Lyrics
The end of the line was the start of this town

nThere were piles of ties and steel rails to lay down

n The men wintered in tents in the mud of Flat Creek

nThe wind blew through their coats, the swamp swallowed their feet.

From all parts of the world, the new settlers came

To build their homes and stake their claims

A bit further west up on higher ground

Oak Lake was the name they gave to their town.

Chorus:
It’s the place where our seeds have been sown

It’s the place where our families have grown

It’s in our hearts wherever we roam

It may be far, it may be near

It’s always here, it’s our home.

With a pair of oxen and a Red River cart

People came here for a brand new start

The land was watered with their sweat and tears

They toiled hard throughout the years.

Through the day and night in the sun and the rain

We plowed and planted to raise the grain

In burlap bags, we poured our wheat

And lined the bags down main street.

Chorus:
It’s the place where our seeds have been sown

It’s the place where our families have grown

It’s in our hearts wherever we roam

It may be far, it may be near

It’s always here, it’s our home!

Here we are in 2008

We all care for each other in Oak Lake

Writing poems, baking cakes, making art for the fair

A day at the lake, we can’t wait to get there.

To the sand hills we take our toboggans to slide

At the rodeo we watch the cowgirls ride

The sports teams always give us a show

The crowd spirit’s wild, we shout

GO RAPTORS GO!

Chorus:
It’s the place were our seeds have been sown

It’s the place where our families have grown

It’s in our hearts wherever we roam

It may be far, it may be near
It's always here, it's our home!
