Kim Kardashian proved that spending time with her kids truly makes her shine.
The reality star, 42, looked absolutely radiant as she took to her Instagram on Monday to share a series of throwback snaps from a lake getaway in 2018 with her four children- North, 10; Saint, seven; Chicago, five; and Psalm, four, whom she shares with her ex-husband Kanye West.
Rocking a figure-hugging sports bra and matching shorts, the makeup mogul – who recently announced she’ll be starring in a new comedy – was all smiles in the images.
Kim wrapped her arms around a younger North and Saint while cruising in a boat in one photo, while she posed with a group of friends in another picture.
In a separate snap, Kim could be seen getting ready to try parasailing, as she captioned the carousal, ‘Lake Life’.

There were also images of a campfire, a rope bridge, a gorgeous meadow and little Chicago getting up close and personal with a puppy.
The family outing comes after Kim recently shared another Instagram photo dump of a session of wakeboarding where she took a major spill on the water while trying to promote her sister Kendall Jenner’s 818 tequila.
Kim showed off her athletic skills by skillfully maneuvering around on the wakeboard before taking out the bottle of booze she had hidden in her life jacket.
After holding onto the wakeboard’s rope with one hand and pretending to take a sip of the tequila, Kim suddenly wiped out and fell into the water.
As the boat circled around to retrieve the American Horror Story star, Kim could be seen smiling while holding up the bottle and bobbing in the water!
‘Save the @drink818 at all costs! @kendalljenner’ she captioned the fun video.
Kendall was quite impressed by both Kim’s sportsmanship and the generous sibling shout out, as she commented on the video with a laughing emoji and a strong arm emoji.
Their famous mom, Kris Jenner, took to the comment section and added a slew of laughing emojis as well.

The video was posted mere minutes before Kim debuted a daring new buzz haircut for the cover of CR Fashion Book.
In the stunning black and white photos posted to her Instagram, the mother of four showed off her edgy new look while rocking a white tank top covered in black stains and a pair of glasses.
She also posed like a pro in a number of shots while donning a sheer black bra, a cozy sweater and a ballerina tutu.

‘CR FASHION BOOK COVER for the 10 year anniversary issue,’ Kim captioned the photo carousal. ‘Crazy I was on the 1st cover and now 10 years later still inspired by @CarineRoitfeld. I love you. Thank you for having me.’
In 2013, the raven-haired beauty made her debut on the cover of CR Fashion Book in a series of snaps taken by the late fashion legend Karl Lagerfeld.
Her styling was orchestrated by Riccardo Tisci, a close associate of her then-fiancé, Kanye West.
At the time, Kim and Kanye were expecting their first child, daughter North West.
