White House hosts a soggy, education-themed Easter egg roll
Briefly

It's one of the few days of the year where the executive branch becomes a child's playground... White House expected 40,000 people this year, a record for a tradition dating back to 1878.
"I'm a teacher, so I love any time we can turn the White House into a classroom," said the first lady...
"This is the people's house," Biden said. "It always makes me feel good to see average Americans... walking around, looking at what's going on. Because they own it."
The president and first lady joined children as they hunted for and rolled eggs. All told, the event's hunting, decorating and rolling... required more than 64,000 eggs, donated by farmers in Pennsylvania and North Carolina.
