"On a pre-middle-school sneak away with my eldest...Did I get us lost in a kayak? Yes," the actress captioned a photo of her and Violet in a kayak at sunset. "Did we paddle as hard as we could for 100 hours and end up in a shipping lane? I’m afraid so."

Jen shares Violet with her ex-husband Ben Affleck. She recently said she "could cry" talking about her painful divorce from the Justice League star. And while Jen's been enjoying some one-on-one time with her kids, she still doesn't want them around Ben's longtime girlfriend Lindsay Shookus.
