Vanessa and Nick Lachey's Kids Look Back on Trip Down the Seine While Watching Olympics Opening Ceremony

Vanessa and Nick Lachey's kids have a special tie to this year's Olympics.

On Friday, July 26, the actress and mom of three shared a sweet series of photos on her Instagram of her family of five as they enjoyed a boat ride down the Seine in Paris, France on a past trip. In one photo, Vanessa and Nick can be seen kissing in the back as their three kids — sons Camden, 11, and Phoenix, 7, as well as daughter Brooklyn, 9 – strike silly poses in front of them.

Another photo shows all five throwing their hands in the air as they ride in the boat amidst a Parisian sunset.

"Watching the Olympic Opening Ceremony with the kiddos. Love that they remembered 'that time we were on the Seine'! 💙💛🖤💚❤️," Vanessa wrote in her caption.

TheLove is Blindco-hosts have been candid about parenting in the past. Earlier this spring, Vanessa spoke exclusively with PEOPLE aboutthe one rule she and Nick always try to follow when it comes to their kids.

"The one thing that we've always agreed on is that we will always, always let our children know how much we love them," Vanessa told PEOPLE. "It sounds so simple, but I didn't have that constant affirmation, physically and verbally, when I was younger."

The mom of three added that their rule is especially important when it comes to discipline.

"At some point, after the discipline has settled in and they've had their moment, we will come in with a loving — whether it's a loving touch or a loving conversation — to let them know why this was important and why it got to that."

"I think it's just about letting them know they feel loved," Vanessa added. "I mean, that's all I wanted to know, that I was loved by mom and my dad, and so we will always give that to them."
