White House Easter Egg Roll

We ended our spring break week with the White House Easter Egg Roll. After several hours of trying online I was lucky enough to get tickets. There were people buying these tickets on ebay for $900 a pair. I could have made quite a profit with six my tickets, but decided the experience was more important.

It took us 2 1/2 hours to actually get through to the white house grounds. They were very backed up on the grounds and wouldn't let new people on until others cleared out. So we waited in line with a lot of other parents and kids with no food or drink. Surprisingly most everyone was pleasant. Our group did make it on the evening news because of our long wait. For a brief moment you could see the back of our heads while they were interviewing someone. Our two second moment of fame. Finally after much waiting they let us through to the festivities.

Seth was helping the grounds crew trim the grass.

Throughout the day there were different groups performing on the main stage. Our group was suppose to watch Fergie, but since we were delayed getting it we have to settle to listening to her from the other side of the fence. The delay was a good thing though. Instead of Fergie we were able to listen to the Imagination Movers. Tade and Seth were so excited. The Imagination Movers is a show they both watch on the Disney channel. We were right in front of the stage. Seth was rocking out so hard it was great!

One of the activities was an Easter egg find. The White House used real died hard boiled eggs for their activities. They must have had thousands of eggs.

This is about as close to the White House as you can get without touching it. Pretty cool.

There really is an Easter egg roll at the White House Easter egg roll. Tade was so excited he got to participate. This was our final activity. As we left we got a great green wooden egg then rushed for the hot dog stand. Man were we starving. It was 1:30 and we hadn't eaten since 8am.
