The White House Easter Egg Roll was held under sunny skies on the front lawn. The President addressed the crowd, "The theme is “Get up and Go,” because as you know, I’m a big proponent of getting up and going, making sure we’re moving and eating healthy. And this Easter Egg Roll reflects all of that, so while you’re here in addition to listening to some great music and dancing a little bit, you can roll your eggs. You can do some yoga. You can play with some -- do some obstacle course, play basketball and tennis."
The President thanked the volunteers and said: "Today we’re going to have a record number of 30,000 people coming through the South Lawn. That’s pretty amazing. So I think now it’s time for us to stop talking and “Get up and Go,” and do some moving. So with that we’re going to come down and kick off the Easter Egg Roll."
A wonderful tradition that allows the kids of America enjoy a family experience that will be remembered for a lifetime.
