The annual Easter Egg Roll began this morning as President Barack Obama introduced the event calling it, “one of the greatest White House traditions.” Michelle Obama also appeared along with Vice President Joe Biden and his wife Jill. The president’s daughters were at the annual event where hundreds of children were participating in the egg rolling competition on the South Lawn.
The First Lady told those in attendance that the goal was to have fun. There were also soccer and basketball games where she said the focus was to make sure everyone stayed active.
The White House gave tickets for the event to gay and lesbian parents as part of the administration’s effort to reach out to diverse communities. President Obama told the crowd that this event “reminds us that this is the people’s house.”
