Aren't you supposed to be a superhero? Ben Affleck enlists help pumping gas while Jennifer Garner has girls' day with Violet

Me time: Meanwhile, Ben Affleck spent time with his beloved Chevrolet Chevelle Super Sport on Saturday

His other baby: The Argo star leaned over and filled his red love with fuel

Weekend ladies stroll: Jennifer Garner took her daughter Violet for a stroll in Santa Monica on Saturday while the other half of their family, enjoying the fresh spot of sunshine

On the task: The busy mother-of-three ran errands around the seaside suburb with her eldest

The happy duo giggled and chit-chatted together as they made their way through the beachy suburb, with Jennifer throwing her arm lovingly around Violet at one point.

When they made a pit-stop in a local cafe, the star's face broke into yet another happy grin as she seemed to have run into somebody she recognised.

Not too far away in Brentwood, Ben Affleck was having a leisurely Saturday himself, but his baby for the day was plucked from his brood of vintage automobiles: a red Chevrolet Chevelle Super Sport.

Sweet tooth: The Dallas Buyers Club star was seen taking Violet to Krispy Kreme donuts for a treat

Cute: The star cuddled her eldest daughter as they enjoyed a mother and daughter day out

Girls just want to have fun! Jen and Violet shared a laugh during their shopping trip in Santa Monica

Bundle up! The actress made sure her daughter put on her purple sweater before stepping back outside

Well, she certainly has a sense of humour! Violet showed her silly side by making a cross-eyed face

The award-winning producer and director rolled into a gas station like the cool cat that he is, obviously having hit a low point in the ancient wonder's fuel tank.

Wearing a suave vest and fashion-savvy leather bowling boots, Ben snagged the gas pump from its holster and went about trying to find the hole.

The star spent a moment or two folded over, trying and failing to figure out how to inject the gas.

Slightly different wheels: Jennifer's car was significantly less jazzy than her husband Ben's

Catching up: It looked as though the actress had run into somebody she knew in the cafe

Happy Jen: She sported a bold grin as she chatted before ordering her morning goods

Boys and their toys: While his wife and daughter hung out together, Ben enjoyed a chit chat over his car

How do you do this again? The actor looked a tad perplexed, whilst an onlooker looked like he may well have been tweeting about his gas station encounter

A helping hand: Ben wound up having a gas station attendant fill his tank for him

A proud owner: Ben sat in his expensive vintage beast looking chuffed

She just keeps on going! Later, Jennifer Garner was spotted wrangling an armful of takeout beverages on her own as she cosied things up with a hearty grey sweater
