Daddy's angels: Ben Affleck juggles Seraphina and Violet on father-daughter bonding trip

Ben Affleck suddenly has some big career decisions on the table, with news this week that Warner Brothers has approached him to direct its costly tent-pole film Justice League.
But the Good Will Hunting actor didn't let career pressures stand too much in the way of quality time with his family today.
The Hollywood A-lister, who turns 40 on Wednesday, was seen taking his two daughters out toy shopping and to the farmers' market.

Seraphina particularly enjoyed the strawberry stand, popping one in her little mouth while Ben was busy with sister Violet.
The girls' mother, and Ben's wife of seven years, Jennifer Garner, was nowhere in sight, and likely at home with six-month-old Samuel.
Earlier this week, Jennifer showed off her enviable post-baby body in a red Lanvin creation at El Capitan for the premiere of The Odd Life of Timothy Green, which will be released August 15.

Variety reported this week that with Christopher Nolan declaring himself out of the running for Justice League, Warner has offered the gig to Ben.
Since guiding WB's The Town to commercial success and critical acclaim from both sides of the camera, Affleck has ascended high on the studio's list of filmmakers who can be trusted.
'Affleck is the only candidate who's been sent Will Beall's Justice League script,' Variety said.

DC Comics' answer to Marvel's Avengers, Justice League is expected to bring together marquee characters Batman and Superman, as well as Green Lantern, Wonder Woman and The Flash.
'Affleck has made it clear that going forward, he's only interested in directing films in which he also stars - The Town and Argo are proof of that - so it's likely that if this pairing ever came to fruition, he would likely don a suit of his own,' the entertainment industry news magazine said.
It also reports that Affleck has spent the last several weeks mulling an offer to star in Greg Berlanti's long-gestating sci-fi drama Replay, which WB has spent more than a decade developing.
Based on Ken Grimwood's 1987 bestseller, the story follows a man who dies and gets the chance to relive his life over and over again, changing partners and professions each time.
