Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky know how to make family bonding time fun.

Pataky, 47, shared in a recent Instagram post that she and her husband, 40, treated their kids to a "family race day."

"Not competitive at all 🤣🤣," she added in the caption of the post, which was also written in Spanish.

Pataky and Hemsworth are parents to daughter India Rose, 11, and nine-year-old twin boys Sasha and Tristan. The post included a video of the proud parents cheering on their kids as they raced on a dirt track and a sweet photo of Pataky and India posing next to motorcycles.

Hemsworth previously shared with PEOPLE that his goal as a father is to teach their kids to "have a great appreciation for everything."

"As a kid, we had very little money, and my parents saved up all year to just pay for a two-week camping vacation," he told PEOPLE in 2017. "Financially, we're in a different position, but I want to make sure they know these things don't come easy. You have to work for it, and you can't take it for granted."

The Thor: Love and Thunder star added that he hoped his kids learn that "success is more about the values we have and the type of people we are rather than the material objects that we might obtain."

Being a present father is something that has been important for Hemsworth as his kids have grown older. In 2020, he shared with GQ Australia that maintaining a work-life balance was something that got "harder and harder" as his career began to flourish.

"For a little while you don't think the kids notice and then you realize they do. I absolutely want to continue to make films that I'm proud of, but that can also wait. Now what's more important is my kids are at an age I don't want to miss," he said. "And I'd hate to look back in 20 years and go, 'Right, let's get to work as a parent' and I've missed it all."
