great grandmother who likes challenging herself although she is 101 years old this year.

　Mary Hardison believes that people should always be cheerful and more importantly, take on all kinds of adventures while they physically still can.So,instead of celebrating her 101st birthday with a boring party, she decided to go paragliding（高压跳伞运动）----an idea she got from her 75- year- old son who recently took it up as a hobby.

　So on her birthday, cheered on by her big family, she tied herself up together with expert instructor（专业指导者）Kevin Hintze, and jumped down fearlessly from the skies near her home inOgden,Utah. And, it was not just a simple jump either.According to Kevin Hintze, the grandmother encouraged him to turn around, as they made their way down.

　This is not the first time that Mary has done something "wild" and "crazy".---For her 90th birthday she rode all the adult tides at Disneyland.And,she is not done yet-For her 102nd birthday she hopes to go down the3,000 foot Alpine Slide at Utah's Park City Mountain Resort!

　Not surprisingly,this great action has made Mary Hardison very famous and also earned her a place in the Guinness World Records where she broke a 2007 record set by a 100- year-old British woman Pretty amazing!
