Thousands of children and adults, plus one Jim Carrey, gathered on the South Lawn of the White House today for the annual Easter Egg Roll.
“This is the biggest event that we have at the White House all year long and it is our most fun event, because we have a chance to see families from all across the country coming through here,” President Obama said, per a pool report. “My main and only job, other than officiating over the roll at some point, is to introduce alongside the Easter Bunny the person who makes this all possible. We love her dearly — my wife — the First Lady, Michelle Obama.”
The first lady told the crowd that this year’s roll was themed “Hop Into Healthy, Swing Into Shape,” with athletes (including RGIII in cleats!) in attendance and healthy activities in place. The president once again played basketball and, mercifully, did better this year. From the pool report: “The kids chanted ‘shoot it, shoot it’ prompting Obama to take three shots. He missed the first two but made the third.”
Other highlights from today’s even (which is still going on!) are presented in photo form below.
