Eric Trump is running the Trump Organization with his older brother while their father is president, and this week he couldn’t resist looking back at his childhood interest in construction.
The 33-year-old took to Instagram on Thursday to share a throwback photo of himself sporting a bright blond bowl cut while sitting in driver’s seat of a giant yellow crane as a child.
Eric tagged his father in the ‘Throwback Thursday’ post; however, the man watching him play with the crane’s steering wheel and gearshifts appears to be a construction worker — not his father.

President Trump presumably took the photo of Eric while they were visiting one of his construction sites together.
In the picture from the ’90s, young Eric is wearing a winter coat and high-top sneakers while playing inside the construction vehicle.
A few years ago, Eric’s older sister, Ivanka Trump, gushed about visiting construction sites with their dad when she was growing up.
‘Some of my greatest memories as a child involved touring construction sites with my parents on the weekends,’ she wrote on Instagram.
Ivanka has kept the tradition alive with her three children, and it’s likely that Eric will do the same thing with his three-month-old son, Luke, when he is old enough.

Although Eric was in California visiting the Trump National Golf Club in Los Angeles, his wife, Lara, was enjoying some fun in the sun with baby Luke at her father-in-law’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida.
On Wednesday afternoon, Lara posted a photo of the beach at Mar-a-Lago on her Instagram stories, and the next day she shared a clip of herself walking outside with Luke.
The little boy was decked out in a wide-brim straw hat to shield his face from the sun and a camouflage onesie.
Eric and Lara spent the first half of their holiday vacation at Mar-a-Lago before they headed to Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, to spend Luke’s first Christmas with her side of the family.
The mother-of-one likely returned to her father-in-law’s resort to attend the private club’s annual New Year’s Even bash.

Tickets are going for $600 per ticket for members of the club and $750 per ticket for their guests, according to Politico. This year’s tickets are even pricier than last years, which went for $525 for members and $575 for guests.
Although Eric and Lara are gearing up a lavish gala to ring in the new year, the mom’s trip to her home town was a bit more casual.
While spending time with her family, Lara took Luke to visit one of her favorite places in North Carolina: an animal shelter.
Paws Place is a no-kill, non-profit shelter that is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption of dogs.
Lara is an dedicated animal rights activist who adopted her own rescue dog, Ben, last year. She proudly shared Instagram photos of little Luke meeting some of the dogs at the shelter the day after Christmas.

In the first photo, Lara is holding Luke in her arms while she squats down to show him a rescue dog that is standing behind a metal gate.
Lara and Luke are pictured posing next to a different rescue pup in another photo from the day-trip.
Luke is bundled up in a light blue knit hat and matching blanket, while Lara is dressed casually in a leather jacket, jeans, and sneakers.
‘Thrilled I got to share one of my favorite places at home with Luke today,’ she captioned the images, using the hashtag ‘AdoptDon’tShop.’
Visiting Paws Place after Christmas has become somewhat of a tradition for Lara, who stopped by the shelter on the same day last year.
