WARNING: Sugar sweet fluffiness that will cause diabetes!
Lots (and lots and lots) of pictures of the White House Easter Egg Roll. I especially love the pictures of President Obama speaking into the bunny’s ear, and him reading Where the Wild Things Are. I can’t wait for the video.
Oooh, lots and lots and lots more pictures. Story with interesting tidbits (scroll down) such as that all the books read at the Storytime Stage were checked out of the local DC library.
I guess it was streamed live but I didn’t realize it at the time.
Even more fluffy:
Easter Egg Roll fashions (the adorable little girl with red hair wins best dressed).
Wow. This morning I was feeling a bit of Obama overload (too many doggy stories in the Post, perhaps), but the photos in the first link remind me of how totally awesome he is with kids…love the shots where he’s hoisting the kid to make the basket and cheering on the little redhaired girl!
Yep! If you watch that video link I posted right before you, you’ll see that she was really upset because she was behind everyone else, so that’s when he jumped in to cheer her on. She was crying at the end, but I’m sure he made her feel better.
Edit to add, THANK YOU drastic_quench!
Hate to bring you all down to earth, and I’m sure Obama likes kids a lot, but come on - this event is continued every year because it is guaranteed to show the president in a positive light.
Much as I’m a Reagan fan - I can’t say he was particularly good with kids. Yet the pictures that came out of the Easter Egg rolls were nice - just as they are with all presidents.
the secret service cracked me up. everyone else having fun and enjoying themselves and laughing. they are so serious and on guard as they should be, they just look so very out of place. i hope they had their own secret service games after everyone left.
