Fair weather festivities FUN DAYS—Autumn is the time for families to gather in the great outdoors before winter’s chill sets in (at least that’s the way it is up north). It’s also time for annual school carnivals. Below, students at Chaparral Elementary School compete in a hula hoop contest at the school’s carnival last Sunday. Left, Harrison Wong, 8, from Westlake Village, looks like he’s trying to escape the oncoming football player behind him. He’s actually playing a game of tug-of-war at the White Oaks Elementary School Fair. And below left, Yerba Buena Elementary School fifth-grader Jake Hesen, 10, attempts to hula hoop over his inflated clown suit at his school’s carnival fundraiser.
