The White House hosted its 140th annual Easter Egg Roll on Monday, welcoming roughly 30,000 people to participate in various activities including lawn bowling, egg decorating, and storybook reading.
First Lady Melania Trump spearheaded the event, as is tradition for the first lady to do.
"It's an honor to have everybody on behalf of the Trump family," Trump said, speaking to the guests from a White House balcony. "This is a special year. Our country is doing great. You look at the economy. You look at what's happening."
The first Easter Egg Roll was hosted by President Rutherford B. Hayes in 1878. The event is a joint effort between the White House, the White House Historical Association, and the National Park Service.
