Al Roker's recent Instagram is making Today show fans reminisce about their own happy memories.

Last Thursday, the weather anchor posted a fun throwback picture of his daughter Leila, 22, and son, Nick, 18, hanging out at New York City's Central Park circa January 28, 2011. Touched by the sweet snapshot, Al's wife, renowned ABC News correspondent Deborah Roberts, couldn't help but join in on the #TBT fun. "Aww. The kiddos," Deborah commented on the post.

Reacting to the family photo, Al's fans immediately took to the comment section to reminisce alongside the couple. "Can’t wait until we all are able to be together as a family ! Beautiful memories of your family from 2011 wow ! 10 years they grow so fast 😂," one fan commented. "Look how young they were ❄️❤️❄️💙 It’s bittersweet-we raise our children to be independent adults-we love them forever ❤️," another wrote. "Wow. Look at all the people there enjoying the snow. What a great joy. Happiness to the soul. Being with your children," a different fan said.

Not pictured in the photo is Al's eldest child and the chef of the Roker family, Courtney, 34, who announced her engagement to her boyfriend,Wesley Laga, last spring. Upon hearing the news, Al gave Courtney and Wesley a special shoutout on his Instagram page while commenting on how "thrilled" he was for the happy couple.

While Leila is currently studying journalism out in Paris, Al has spent lots of time in quarantine posting fun cooking videos with Nick. Despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, getting to spend more time with his son has been a giant silver lining for the NBC weather anchor.

"Being in the house together all the time can be challenging for anyone, and it's especially hard when your child has additional needs," Al told AARP The Magazine about Nick, who is on the autism spectrum. "But I'm so proud of the person Nick is becoming, and so glad I have this extra time to see him maturing into an adult."

Excited to see more cute family photos from Al soon!
