Just hanging out: Jennifer Garner spends the afternoon entertaining her energetic lookalike children at the park in LA
|
Jennifer Garner could never be accused of being an absentee mother.
The actress seems to have found the perfect balance between juggling her movie career with motherhood.
On Thursday, the only job on her mind was keeping her three little ones entertained, as she took them to a park in Pacific Palisades, California after school.
Juts hanging out: Jennifer Garner treated her adorable kids to an afternoon at a park in Pacific Palisades on Thursday, with daughter Seraphina having a ball hanging with her mom on the monkey bars
The brunette patiently distributed her time evenly between her two youngest as they took to the various equipment with gusto.
For Seraphina, it was all about the monkey bars, with the four-and-a-half-year-old showing off her agility as she hung happily with her mom providing some support in case she lost her grip.
She also had a ball on the swings, squealing with delight as her mom diligently pushed her higher and higher, much to her delight.
Three-of-a-kind: The busy mom-of-three juggled son Samuel on her hip as she walked hand-in-hand with eldest child Violet, who was looking sporty in her mismatched purple T-shirt and shorts and pink colourful shoes
The sweet little girl was dressed in her favourite bright pink leggings and a lemon yellow long-sleeved T-shirt, while she wore her blonde hair up in a ponytail and donned glasses like her older sister.
Samuel also got a helping hand as he took to a bright yellow rocking lion in the sand.
The 19-month-old tyke didn't entirely know what to do at first, but he soon got the idea and donned a beaming smile as he sat all by himself.
The barefoot babe later dragged his mom, who was no doubt exhausted by this stage, up onto the climbing frame.
Not quite sure: Samuel, 19 months, wasn't convinced about taking a ride on the bright yellow rocking lion at first
Hold on tight! But he soon got into the spirit, though Mom was on hand to ensure he didn't take a spill onto the sand
The toddler is looking more and more like his moviestar mom and sisters every day, with his big, pouty lips, piercing blue eyes and blond hair.
He was also dressed similarly to the 41-year-old, in a grey striped top and navy blue pants, which were rolled at the ankles.
Eldest child Violet, who turns eight in December, is fast growing up and displayed her fun sense of style in her colourful ensemble.
Higher, Mom, higher! The four-and-a-half-year-old squealed with delight as her moviestar mom patiently pushed her on the swing

The pretty blonde wore a contrasting purple T-shirt and shorts, which showed off the long legs she inherited from her mother.
Bright pink and multicoloured sneakers and matching pink socks added to her sporty look, while she carried her heavy-looking green backpack as she walked along holding her mom's hand.
While husband Ben Affleck, 41, is currently busy with his own film career, he doesn't have to worry about his children, with Jen holding down the fort.
And if the star is struggling with her solo parenting responsibility, she's certainly not showing it.
Hold my hand: Jennifer stays close to little Samuel as he descends some steps in Pacific Palisades
Off-duty ensemble: The 41-year-old donned her best casual chic outfit of beige three-quarter pants, back Nikes and a white and black striped T-shirt, which she wore under a warm puffa jacket
Just like Mommy: Little Samuel is looking more and more like his famous mom, and sisters, everyday, with his pouty lips, piercing blue eyes and blonde hair
The former Alias star looked casually chic in three-quarter-length beige pants, black Nike sneakers and a white long-sleeved top with black stripes.
A black puffa jacket kept her warm as the sun began to slowly set.
She wore her long chestnut locks in a ponytail and covered her eyes under large brown shades.
Ben, by any chance? Jennifer chats intently on her mobile phone during her trip to the playground with her three children
Barefoot babes: Seraphina and Samuel ditched their shoes as they happily played in the sunshine together under their mother's watchful eye
Monkeying around: Jennifer and her children cross a bridge
Away we go: Jennifer has some fun on a slide with young son Samuel in Pacific Palisades
Come here, you: Jennifer keeps a close eye on little Samuel
Matching stripes: A weary-looking Jen happily entertained her lookalike son as he dragged her up onto the climbing frame

And now people will understand why she is fighting for the paparazzi to stay away they can't even go to the park without been stalked. if they are it's not one photo of them it's hundreds. the paparazzi already killed Princess Diana who is next. back off the family time!
I met her a few years ago and she is really stunning in person. Her sense of style is pretty bad though... have to admit!
I am actually thinking that all this invasion of the press into their normal daily life is quite dangerous. You can see that Jennifer sees the press taking photo's and this is a huge stress for her to be thinking about this every time they go out, this must be very distracting for her. Leave her alone and give her some privacy, so she can go out with her kids and not have the distraction of being 'STALKED' every where she goes. I would have hated to have to deal with this every time I went out with my kids.............HUGE invasion of a families life!!!!!!!!!! Are they no laws against this in America? I'm sure they are not allowed to take photo's of children!
I don't get this woman. She testifies in front of Congress about the paparazzi invading her children's privacy and yet puts them in the public eye every day. Maybe she should stay home one day a week or better yet, put up a swing set in your large backyard. Her outings are chronicled every day in the DM.

To me Jennifer is: the Mother I'd want to be , and the Mother I'd want to have. Her children are adorable, so real. I love little Seraphina. When the no Paps law for celebrity children goes into order I'm going to really miss seeing these pictures.
