One father-son duo in Washington took a trip down memory lane in light of Father’s Day this year.
Officer Andy Gould with the Auburn Police Department and his son, Michael, recreated a 20-year-old photo.
In 1998, the pair smiled for a photo, which shows Michael sitting on his father's lap inside of a patrol car.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}“When I get bigger I’m going to be my Dad’s partner and catch bad guys and burglars,” the caption on the original photo reads.
On Sunday, the two re-created the moment -- though as the police department noted on Facebook, it was a “hard squeeze” with his son’s 6’7” frame.
“Recreating the photo 20 years later was a wonderful tribute to father and son. Hope all you father’s out there had as wonderful a day as our own Officer Gould!” the police department continued.

The photo garnered hundreds of reactions on Facebook.
“They need a bigger police vehicle,” one commenter remarked on the photo.

As of Tuesday morning, the picture had more than 3,000 reactions and 2,000 shares.
