Thunder and lightning has delayed the start of the Easter egg roll at the White House for 90 minutes
Thunder and lightning delayed the start of the Easter egg roll at the White House for 90 minutes on Monday, but the event eventually kicked off under gray skies and internment rain. More than 40,000 people — 10,000 more than last year — were expected to participate in the event, attempting to coax hard-boiled eggs across the lawn to a finish line. This year's theme is “EGG-ucation,” and led by Jill Biden, a teacher for more than 30 years.
A large schoolhouse erected on the South Lawn, offers kids activities in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics, or STEM — including making circuit-breakers or simulating a fossil dig. The kids will also have the opportunity to write notes to U.S. troops and first responders with Operation Gratitude, a nonprofit organization. Guests are including thousands of military and veteran families, their caregivers and survivors.
