Who says that getting older means you can't enjoy some of the sillier things in life? Is there anything sillier or more fun on a hot summer day than a Slip 'N Slide?

Still, most people wouldn't necessarily consider creating one for seniors. A home for older citizens in Ohio, however, thought it would be a great idea. They decided to set up a Slip 'N Slide that all of the residents could enjoy.

Their Slip 'N Slide fun day coincided with the 26th annual Senior Health and Wellness Day.

This event takes place every year on the last Wednesday of May. All across the United States, more than 100,000 seniors participate in a variety of activities at various locations. These events are sponsored by many organizations -- hospitals, senior centers, worship centers, and more. The goal is to make sure that older citizens stay healthy, fit, and happy.

The Oaks at Northpointe had a major hit with their Slip 'N Slide. They posted a video of one of their residents there having a blast as the staff pulls her along the Slip 'N Slide on a float. The clip quickly went viral with nearly eight million views and counting.

It's a great reminder that age means nothing when it comes to enjoying life. It also reminds us not to forget that our wonderful senior citizens deserve to have some fun too!
