“On daddy duty while V wraps up filmingseason 3ofNCIS: Hawai’i, so the kids and I took our spring break trip and went to the [San Diego Zoo]!” Nick wrote in the caption. “We had a blast and learned a lot about their conservation efforts both local and worldwide. If you’re in the area I highly recommend a family trip!!”
In the photos, the couple’s kids can be seen feeding a camel and posing with an aardvark — and the 98 Degrees alum snapped a close-up of an anteater, too.
Vanessa responded in the comment section, calling her husband of over 12 years a “super dad” for taking their kids out to the zoo — and joked that she had some “payback” in store for Nick.
The couple,who tied the knot in 2011 after five years of dating, sharethree kids— sons Camden, 11, and Phoenix, 7, and daughter Brooklyn, 9.

TheLove is Blindco-hosts have been candid about parenting in the past. Just last week, 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 get up with the kids every day,” he said at the time. “So when I’m on the road and I’m not there, it kills me.”
