101 year old youngster plays in the snow.





No matter how old you get, you should never lose your sense of childlike wonder.

Never has that been more true than in the case of this spry 101-year-old woman. She jumped out of the car (as best as a woman her age can do) on a blustery day to make a snowball and then throw it.

Yes, snow can be a pain when you’re driving through it, but it’s good to see she also remembers the simple joy it can bring.

Her son, who captured the wonderful scene, said, “When you have a mother that’s 101 years old, it’s a good idea to keep the camera nearby for those special moments.”

Well said.

Seeing the naive smile of this old grandma, I'm in a good mood, Also I can't help thinking that God created Adam and Eve, And He hoped man could live under the care and protection happily. Thanks God's love! Thank and praise God! God bless you and the old grandma!

was how her son talked to her. It was obvious that he loves his mother very much; I could tell from the tone in his voice.

They are lucky to have each other, and I wish all older people could have a son that devoted.
