Saturday night was a free night and the rock band “Queen” just happened to be playing at Wembley Arena… Since were WERE at Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp, the counselors all pretty much were friends with the band.
Chuck Silber, Rex Olson and I headed out to see the show with none other than Chris Slade, Legendary drummer for AC/DC, The Firm, Tom Jones and more.

Since we were there with rockers, needless to say, we had pretty good seats. What follows are some various photos shot throughout the night..

The greatest albums of all time were recorded within the walls of Abbey Road Studios. There is so much history here that it’s almost overwhelming.
Abbey Road Studio 3 is where Pink Floyd created some of their most legendary music.
Philip Nelson in Abbey Road Studio 2. Standing where the Beatles recorded. This was a pretty awesome experience.

This was on the tree in front of Abbey Road Studios.. I'm always looking out for "falling conkers".

When it comes to wildlife, I hate to waste anything that is killed. Since I waited too long, we couldn’t eat the Rattlesnake meat but I decided to try my hand at skinning it. Since I had pretty much blasted it’s head, I lost about 6 inches of savable snake..
First step was to cut off the remainder of the head and mangled area. Then we started snippind down the belly to remove the skin.
My trusty assistant insisted that we wear rubber gloves while skinning the snake.
The girls are actually excited to get in on the fun.
The "fruits" of our work. I thought it was only fitting to wear a GI Joe Cobra shirt while skinning the snake.
Next order of business was to pin the skin to a board and sprinkle salt on the “inside”..
My youngest daughter is incharge of the salt.

Hoping to see a trophy buck, we spent the weekend with my Dad and my son at the ranch. At the end of the day, we got more than we bargained for.. I head that dreaded rattle and looked down to see a +3ft long rattlesnake!
To give you some perspective of the size, below is a picture of my 7 year old daughter holding the snake.. You can tell from the mangled head that my Glock did the trick.

I must admit that when I first heard about the Brazilian martial art of Capoeira that I thought it was a bit silly. Having a wife who is a three time national fighting champion in Shotokan, I’m brainwashed to be more of a martial arts purist.
You are going to LOVE this video of a Capoeira fighter vs a brawler in the ring.

Actually, my 7 year old daughter loves horses and for her Birthday last weekend, we decided to do a little horseback riding.
Sage riding Oreo
We had a pretty amazing day and everyone got in on the action.
Brandy Roell, Amanda and Nat
Our good friend, Officer Brandy Roell was even coerced from her wheelchair to trying riding a hose for the first time.. Pretty amazing for someone who was shot in the back by an AK-47 less a little over a month ago.
