Last week Bill found out that he had won the lottery to get tickets to the annual Easter Egg Roll on the White House lawn. We were SUPER excited! Our tickets were for the first of four time slots. It was a bit chilly but it was easier to find parking and everything and everyone was fresh! Everything was organized very well! We went through security, got a wrist band and then were headed to the lawn! They thought of everything. They had an area for you to get a drink before you went in, they had sunscreen, bug spray, people with markers to write your phone number on your child's wrist band in case you got separated. Like I said they thought of it all! Once we got onto the lawn there were lots of activities to do. There was the Easter Egg roll of course, characters, a story time with Jim Carrey, a stage with music, crafts, a fruit stand with free fruit, a science area where they learned about bees and seeds. I was really amazed!

When we were waiting to go in they had bubble machines...Landon was so excited! I couldn't get him still for the picture!
Addi and Bill on the White House Lawn!
All of us on the White House Lawn!!!
Landon was pretty excited to see Spiderman but wasn't sure about taking a picture with him. We stood there for awhile and a few other kids went and then he wanted me to go with him...he really wasn't sure. You wouldn't know that by looking at the picture....he thought he was tough! Spiderman was awesome! So, this is certainly a picture with a story!
EGG ROLLING!!!
Landon wasn't sure what to do and quickly flicked his egg into Addison's lane. He just kept going!
We got SO close to the White House. The only thing separating us from the front door was a driveway! AMAZING! It was so beautiful!
This picture was taken for Lucas! He calls Curious George...Monkey George!
This was a super fun photo prop! They had one a little bigger but a super long line for it! I still think these pics are cute!
Silly Girl....Daddy was saying something to her!
Addi and Landon made kites and were able to fly them on the White House Lawn! They really did have some awesome volunteers! As Bill would say...."they sprinkled some Disney on it!"
It was a WONDERFUL day and some great memories for our family! Addi and Landon looked so cute and they were very well behaved! They even got a commemorative egg when then left! It was a great event! Thank You President Obama for the invite!!
