There are few people in this world more greatly underestimated by the general population than the elderly. With age comes certain disadvantages that may cause people to automatically assume that an aged person has a limited range of things they like to and can do. But they couldn't be more wrong! It’s never too late to remember the crazy life we’ve lived and make it even crazier. 

As you grow, so does your zest for life. There are a million ways to stay sharp. And with wisdom and experience by your side, adventures are only a few steps away. Here are some super seniors and grand grandparents that led some fascinatingly fun lives and who did some incredible and inspiring things that most young people would struggle to find the courage to do!
