On Monday, April 21st, 2014, the Easter Egg Roll Race took place at the White House.

This year’s theme was “Hop into Healthy, Swing into Shape”. There were many different activities such as sports courts, cooking stations, live music , storytelling, and, of course, Easter egg rolling. A race where little kids  push eggs with spoons.
