Jennifer did some browsing at the local shops before excusing herself to take phone call.

On Wednesday (August 23), Jennifer took her and ex Ben Affleck‘s daughters – Violet, 11, and Seraphina, 8 (not pictured) – indoor rock climbing at Rockreation in Los Angeles.

Jen then met up with a friend for a shopping spree at Barneys New York in Beverly Hills.

Ben was spotted back in Los Angeles on Thursday after going on some lowkey dates with girlfriend Lindsay Shookus in New York City.
