Thunder and lightning caused a 90-minute delay for the annual Easter egg roll at the White House on Monday. Despite the gray skies and light rain, over 40,000 people were expected to participate in the event, which saw an increase of 10,000 attendees from the previous year. The theme for this year's egg roll is 'EGG-ucation,' led by Jill Biden, a veteran teacher of over 30 years.
The tradition of the egg roll dates back to 1878 and aims to educate children on various topics such as farming, healthy eating, and exercise. The event featured stations on the South Lawn and Ellipse where kids could engage in activities related to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
