White House Easter Egg Roll

On Monday me and Madison got to go to the 2012 White House Easter Egg Roll. This is an event that has been going on for over a hundred years where children get to go on the White House lawn and roll Easter eggs. Now they have a lot more to it than that, but the traditional Easter egg roll still remains. The people I nanny for were able to snag tickets last minute and invited me and Madi to go, which was so thoughtful of them! It was so fun to be so close to the White House, and to actually be on the lawn!
Below is the entrance to the egg roll.
You can see here just how close we were!
 Here is Madi doing the Easter egg roll. She made up her own rules. You are supposed to take a spoon and roll the egg down the lawn, but instead Madi did it as follows:
1st she decides she needs 2 eggs
So she decides to bend down and get it...
And then runs to the finish line!!
Oh shoot, I rolled my ankle...
She's down...
 And then comes back up with her shoe and yells "Suu" (Shoe)
It cracked me up!
 Here is a shot of the press
Here is the President and his family coming out to say Hi.

By the end, this is how Madi was feeling though! A little wired, hungry and tired!
