I bought my parents an ipad so if anyone has any tips or advice or app recommendations for people in their late 60's I'd appreciate it....

I don't think they'll need any special help really. Set up all the iTunes stuff for them,they'll never handle that! Then tell then you can't break it no matter what you do,turning it off and on again fixes everything. Really it's a very intuitive user experience. My mum didn't even want to pick it up when she got hers,no computer experience at all and within 10 mins of taking it in her hands she was hooked. Now she hardly leaves whatever room she's in without it. I'd say the only thing worth teaching them is the soft reset,pressing the power button at the same time until it turns off and back on again. They'll rarely need it but it might come in handy someday.
