This amazing Instagram post is captioned with the following:  "We were finally able to safely spend time with Brody’s Great Grandma in Ajo the past couple days. SHE’S 102!! (AND A HALF!!) Today, brody introduced her to his first grade class.. PLEASE SWIPE to watch her participating in his PE class. This was quite honestly one of the most special moments ever."

How GREAT is this?!  Julia Fulkerson is 102, leaping, marching in place, and pumping her arms with her grandson, Brody Contreras.  I love that he doesn't seem to be able to keep up as well as Great-Grandma.

The family was finally able to visit Julia because all have been vaccinated against Covid-19.

Hopefully, we'll be seeing more and more of these kind of reunited family videos.
