Watch: Kelly Ripa & Kids Hilariously Recreate 17-Year-Old Vacay Photo

Time sure does fly!

In a Jan. 28 Throwback Thursday post, Kelly Ripa shared family vacation photos from 20 years ago. One of the sweet snapshots showed her husband Mark Consuelos holding a smiling baby Lola Consuelos in the pool while another showed Kelly cradling their daughter as a young Michael Consuelos beamed at his little sister. Today, Lola is 19 years old, Michael is 23 years old and their brother Joaquin Consuelos is 17 years old. 

"#tbt," the LIVE with Kelly and Ryan host captioned images of their getaway. "2001 Babies with their babies." 

The pictures certainly brought back fond memories for the couple. "I love these pics so much!!!" the Riverdale actor commented, to which his wife replied, "I wish we could go back in time for like a minute."

While their kids have grown up, 50-year-old Mark has stayed the same. Literally. As one commenter asked, "Soooo Mark just doesn't age?" And no, no he does not. As Kelly replied, "Nope. It's very irritating."

Although, the morning show star, also 50, is just as timeless. "Neither do u," added another fan. "Gorgeous couple."

Empty Nest, No Problem

For the first September in at least 20 years that she didn't have a kid to see off to school, Kelly filled the void with a throwback from 2008.

Look Out, Behind You!

Big Men on Campus

"Looks like @instasuelos just found out he won't be @joaquinconsuelos roommate in the fall," Kelly teased during a trip to Ann Arbor before Joaquin started at University of Michigan.

Kelly took a few days off in March 2022 to watch the Wolverines compete in the Division 1 Wrestling Championships in Detroit.

Still a freshman, Joaquin didn't wrestle this time, but still, Kelly said on Live upon her return, "It took years off my life watching these young men."

Generational Health

The whole family finally made it to Greece and Italy in June 2021 after the pandemic had other plans in 2020.

"Last year's graduation trip for our oldest son and niece was delayed long enough to become a graduation trip for the family newborns as well," Kelly shared.

Heavenly Holiday

This family pic from their Mediterranean getaway turned out so well, Kelly made it their 2021 holiday card.

"Happy Easter from the year 2012 because Lola approved this photo," Kelly captioned this throwback, never missing a chance to tease her perpetually appalled teen on social media.

Mommy & Son

Kelly and Mark's eldest child, son Michael Consuelos, 24 at the time, posted this sweet throwback photo of him and his mom on her 51st birthday in 2021, writing, "Happy Birthday, Mom!! I hope you have the greatest day ever. You're a badass and an inspiration to everyone. Also, when I call you a T. Rex, I mean it as a compliment. You should know that by now."

History Repeating

In August 2020, Kelly Ripa shared an epic recreation of an old family photo from 2003 on Instagram. With youngest son Joaquin on her lap and older kids Michael and Lola perfectly in place, we'd say they nailed it despite the fact that, as Kelly noted, "objects may appear larger."

Glad Grad

In May 2020, Kelly and Mark celebrated eldest son Michael's graduation—albeit a virtual one, thanks to the coronavirus pandemic—from New York University. Marking the occasion, Kelly wrote on Instagram, "And just like that you graduated college. MJC, the joy and pride you have brought our family is indescribable. I love you with all my heart."
