by Cooper, age 9 from Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, asks Santa about themed water parks, the Wisconsin River, and the town’s Water Park Capital title.
Dear Santa, my name is Cooper, and I am nine years old. I live in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, where my dad says our town has more indoor water parks than anywhere else in the whole country.
Dear Cooper, a town with that many water parks sounds like the splashiest possible stop on my entire route, your dad picked a truly fun-filled hometown.
Santa, I have three questions.
Is there a Santa water park? My cousin says one of our indoor parks does a whole Christmas theme in December.
Some indoor water parks do dress up with festive decorations and themed slides during the season, Cooper, a splashy way to celebrate even when it is cold outside. Your cousin picked a wonderfully fun way to spend the holidays.
My dad says Wisconsin Dells sits along the Wisconsin River. Is that true?
It is true, Cooper, the Wisconsin River winds right through your town, carving out beautiful rock formations along the way. I always follow that glimmering path to help find my way to your rooftop.
My dad says our town is officially known as the Water Park Capital of the World. Is that true?
It is true, Cooper, Wisconsin Dells proudly holds that title, home to more indoor water parks than anywhere else. That kind of joyful, splashy spirit fills the whole town, even in the coldest months.
Merry Christmas, Santa.
Your friend,
Cooper Vance
Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin
P.S. Will you try a water slide yourself this year?
Only briefly, Cooper, my suit is not exactly built for water slides.
