Even though it was just a quick up-and-back trip to attend the Carrizo Ranch Association meeting, Paul decided to take Ruben along for a special father-son trip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They made the most of their short time there, going for some hikes around the property.<\/p>\n\n\n

They also ventured across the valley and up the hill (more than once), to where the road graders had left a big pile of dirt. If anyone knows what to do with a big pile of dirt, it is an eight-year-old boy. <\/p>\n\n\n
