A Boy, A Sleep Over And Guardians Of The Galaxy Volume 2

How long have we been waiting for this movie? Too long!!!

Since the original film came out Tom and I have eagerly awaited this sequel. We were hooked from the beginning. To say we were not disappointed was an understatement. Tom and I have always loved superhero films, especially Marvel. We have also always loved sci-fi ones. So when you combine the two, BANG!!! You hit the jackpot with us boys.

As it has been such a long waited occasion, Rachel and I wanted to make it extra special for Tom. We therefore made it special, but boy was it hard work, worthwhile though. The plan was to go for a meal, take one of Tom's friends and then have his mate stay for a sleep over. A few weeks before the event Tom introduced his mum and friend to the original Guardians Of The Galaxy movie and they enjoyed it. It was a bit of a relief to me that Rachel enjoyed it because she is not normally into sci-fi, but luckily it had Chris Pratt in is all I can say.

The closer it got to the day the more Tom and I got excited. The day arrived, last Saturday. We took the two boys to a local restaurant. Two very excited boys that could hardly keep still and there was plenty of school boy humour bouncing between them. We then went on to the cinema. Armed with our pre-booked tickets, popcorn and drinks we headed to the auditorium, with the two very excited boys, three if you include me. This is where the fun started. Online I had chosen central seats and as the cinema had recently had a makeover we all had reclining seats. Reclining seats are excellent and the walk ways in front of them have plenty of room if people had to get by. Unfortunately for us it was Rachel and I having to get up to take the boys to the toilet several times each. However, this did not impact on  the enjoyment of the film. The gang of Guardians kept us entertained. Baby Groot was probably one of my favourite characters of the night. We all gave it two thumbs up.



Then we had the sleep over!!! It was Saturday and the boys were not in a hurry to go to bed, but by 11pm they were tucked up. It took until gone midnight for the boys to finally get to sleep. By this time Rachel and I were pooped, absolutely knackered. The next day the boys played Pokemon together and were quite relaxed, but Rachel and I were still whacked all day.

It was hard work. Was it worth it? Hell yes!!! Seeing Tom happy is always worth it.
