Kansas woman celebrates 105th birthday on slip and slide
PRATT, Kan. (KCTV) – A Kansas woman had a special way to slide into and celebrate a milestone.
Mildred Riley of Pratt, Kan. will turn 105 years old on Aug. 19. She’s done a lot during her lifetime, including traveling the world and floating through the sky on a hot air balloon ride when she turned 90.
This year she decided to try a slip and slide at the Pratt Health and Rehab Center where she lives.
Employees at the center placed her in an inflatable and helped her slide across the lawn. She was all smiles, as you can see from the pictures her daughter shared.

RIley’s family is also planning a party to celebrate her 105th birthday and honor her.
