Obama welcomes children to White House Easter Egg Roll

Children from across the United States took part Monday in an annual rite of spring: the White House Easter Egg Roll. It is a special holiday celebration for the young and the young at heart.

The White House South Lawn is often a place for pomp and protocol.

It is the starting point for state visits complete with red carpets and marching bands.

30,000 participants

But on Easter Monday, it belongs to the young.

Obama welcomes children to White House Easter Egg Roll

Roughly 30,000 children and their parents from across the country were able to get tickets through the Internet for this year's White House Easter Egg Roll.

They got an official welcome from President Barack Obama.

"This is one of the greatest White House traditions because it reminds us that this is the people's house!" the president said.

Event dates back to 1800s

The tradition goes back to 1878. It began with races on the White House lawn, where children pushed painted Easter eggs with big spoons.

Those races continued under the new president. But there were other activities as well, designed to promote a healthy lifestyle. First Lady Michelle Obama said they all fit this year's theme: "Let's go play!"

"Oh, we have got basketball, a little, a little soccer as well, and we want everybody to think about moving their bodies!" the first lady said.

There was also a place where children could just sit and listen and let their imaginations roam.

"Where the Wild Things Are. The night Max wore his wolf suit and made mischief of one kind and another ..." president Obama explained.

It was a spot near the trees that frame the South lawn, where books borrowed from a local library were read aloud. The president took a turn, [reading from the popular children's book "Where the Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak] as did the first lady, with daughters Malia and Sasha nearby.

Not present at the event was the latest addition to the first family, a puppy named Bo. The new first pet, a Portuguese water dog, is expected to make his public debut on Tuesday.

the young at heart:活躍的人,興致很高的人

Easter Egg Roll: 復(fù)活節(jié)滾彩蛋,是西方復(fù)活節(jié)的一種風(fēng)俗。人們相信,彩蛋在地上來回滾動可以使惡魔不斷驚顫、倍受煎熬。這種風(fēng)俗歷史悠久,雞蛋是復(fù)活節(jié)的象征,因為它預(yù)示著新生命的降臨,相信新的生命一定會從中沖脫出世。

make mischief:挑撥離間

debut:a first public appearance(初次露面)
