Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were spotted taking their son Samuel to Disneyland in honor of his 12th birthday weekend.
Although they split up nearly a decade ago, Ben and Jennifer have famously maintained a warm and friendly co-parenting equation.
Their amicable rapport was in evidence earlier this week, when the pair united to celebrate Samuel’s birthday on its actual date.
Once the weekend rolled around, Jennifer and Ben were together again to treat their youngest child to an excursion at the ‘happiest place on earth.’
In addition to their little boy, the former spouses are also the proud parents of two teenage daughters – Violet, 18, and Seraphina, 15.

Jennifer cut a casual figure in a striped sweater and a pair of true blue jeans, warding off the California rays with a baseball cap.
Meanwhile Ben, sporting a distinguished touch of grey in his hair and beard, layered a dashing coat over his cardigan and t-shirt.
On the romantic front, Jennifer is currently in a long-term on-off relationship with one John Miller, while Ben has married his early-aughts flame Jennifer Lopez.
Rounding off the blended family, J-Lo is bringing up a set of 16-year-old twins called Max and Emme, whom she shares with her third ex-husband Marc Anthony.
A source recently informed DailyMail.com that the J-Lo marriage has helped Ben and his ex-wife ‘get to a better place’ in their own equation.
‘Ben is healthy. The drama of the past and the emotions of divorce are long gone and they are all making it work,’ the insider explained.
Ben’s two wives are apparently ‘friendly’ with one another, and all of the children in the blended family are said to ‘love each other.’
The source shared: ‘It is really a very happy co-parenting situation. Everything is really good right now and should be the same in the near and distant future.’

A previous article on the UK website Closer Online claimed J-Lo was ‘blindsided’ and ‘furious’ at the sight of pictures of Ben and his ex-wife looking friendly.
Meanwhile Ben was claimed to be ‘saying Jennifer’s like his sister at this point and if J-Lo’s going to get jealous and throw tantrums over a harmless cuddle, then the problem’s on her. It’s a real war of attrition here that’s threatening to blow up.’
However, an insider assured DailyMail.com that Ben and J-Lo were ‘very much in love with each other’ and the rumors of tension in the marriage were false.
‘Their relationship is still on fire. They are really happy with each other, and there’s no drama in their relationship right now at all.’
