Fun, but more challenging than we expected, some of the children needed extra support to complete all the tasks. Parker and Celia thought they were going to relax with the other parents and sip coffee but it turned out that adult guidance was required so we joined the action. In particular, Celia was quite unprepared in her floppy sandals.
It's common at birthday parties in Zaragoza for parents to have coffee or beer and a few snacks together, while the kids are off bowling, playing laser tag, or the like. If the parents drop-off the children, then upon returning for pick up, they stay for a drink and a chat for about an hour. Birthday parties were an all day affair.

Typical to an American tradition, we made and brought a birthday cake. Surprised yet impressed, the other families gobbled up our homemade treat.
Hope your birthday went well. Organized a luncheon at one of the nearly located venues in Chicago on occasion of my promotion. Got appreciation from all my colleagues and felt happy to cut the cake bought by them. Dishes ordered were all yummy and even desserts were absolutely of superb taste.
