WASHINGTON, D.C. — The annual Easter Egg Roll took place on the South Lawn of the White House Monday. Having spent several decades as a teacher, the first lady has continued her "EGGucation" theme for the event. Thousands of children had the experience to learn more about healthier eating, farming, exercise and more through activities on the lawn.

The egg roll is the second hosted by President Joe Biden and Dr. Jill Biden. The event returned to the White House last year after it was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Check out photos of Monday's festivities below.
