Jennifer Garner is a doting mum to three children, and over the school holidays the actress wanted them to have a memorable time – so she took them to summer camp. The 13 Going on 30 actress took to Instagram over the weekend to share a sweet picture of a handmade craft that they made for her, which was personalised with the word 'Mama' on it. The star accompanied the picture with a heartfelt post thanking everyone who had helped to make her children's time at summer camp so special, which resonated with many of her showbiz friends, including actress Gwyneth Paltrow.
Jennifer Garner was given the sweetest present from her children after summer camp
It read: "For scraped knees, and trees climbed, for hearing 'You’ve got a friend' from the bathtub, for rosy cheeks and easy bedtimes, for nicknames and friendship bracelets taped to the back of anything standing. For dirty limbs and popsicle smiles, for role model counsellor—soul protectors, for camp directors who deserve all the showers and all the winter to recover. For crafts that come home saying, 'mama'. Thank you, summer camp." Shortly after Jennifer posted the message, Gwyneth responded, telling the actress: "You're a brilliant writer," while actress Kimberley Williams-Paisley added: "Same." Fellow parents also appreciated Jennifer's message, with one writing: "Gwyneth is right you really have a knack for writing Jennifer and touching people's hearts. Thank you." Another user added: "Sounds like it was a smashing success!"
