Sandra Bullock offered followers an unusually personal look at life away from the spotlight.
The 62-year-old Practical Magic actress posted a collection of warm summer memories to Instagram on Tuesday, including tender moments featuring her two adopted children, 16-year-old son Louis and 12-year-old daughter Laila.
‘Friends, family, fun, fishies, furries, aaaand work,’ she captioned the carousel.
The nostalgic gallery appeared to include one image of her children out for a walk, along with another shot showing three kids soaking up time on a boat.
Bullock also included a friendly snapshot with longtime pal Jason Bateman and his wife, Amanda Anka.
One of the more emotional images showed the Oscar-winning star visiting the graves of her parents. Her father, John W. Bullock, died in 2018 at 93, while her mother, Helga Meyer, passed away in April 2000 following a battle with cancer.
The Daily Mail has contacted Bullock’s representatives for comment.

Bullock adopted Louis in 2010 and Laila in 2015.
In June, Bullock shared a snap of her children while celebrating Father’s Day.
Her Father’s Day tribute included throwback photos of her dad doting on his grandchildren when they were younger.
The post also included two snapshots of her father cuddling her children as babies, both of whom she affectionately referred to as the ‘loves of my life.’
‘He loved me through my goth period… Loved on the loves of my life… And loved our country at 18… Happy Heavenly Father’s Day, Dad,’ she wrote in the caption.

Yet another snap showed the catch of the day
Bullock raised her two children with her late longtime partner, Bryan Randall, who also had a daughter, Skylar Staten Randall, from a previous relationship.
Randall died in August 2023 after battling amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) for three years.
The winner put her thriving career on hold in 2022 to help care for the photographer during his health battle.
‘After everything she went through with Bryan, she needed time to care for herself,’ an insider told People on Thursday.
‘She spent a lot of time healing, being with her kids and being at home. She needed to ensure that she and her kids were in the best possible place for her to go back to work.’
The pair originally met in 2015 after she hired him to shoot her son’s fifth birthday bash.
‘I found the love of my life,’ Bullock told Facebook’s Red Table Talk in 2021.
‘We share two beautiful children — three children [including] his older daughter. It’s the best thing ever.’

Bullock is set to return to the big screen later this year in Susanne Bier’s long-awaited sequel, Practical Magic 2, which hits US/UK theaters on September 11.
She and her co-star Nicole Kidman are reprising their roles as the witchy Owens sisters in the sequel, which they are also executive producers on.
The Warner Bros. Pictures flick – set 25 years after the original film – also features Stockard Channing, Dianne Wiest, Joey King, Lee Pace, Maisie Williams, Xolo Maridueña and Solly McLeod.
Griffin Dunne’s 1998 film Practical Magic – based on Alice Hoffman’s 1995 novel – was loathed by critics and loved by audiences despite only earning $68.3 million back from its $75 million budget at the box office.
