A huge crowd descended on the White House lawn for the start of this year's Easter egg roll, after the event was delayed by thunder and lightning for about 90 minutes. More than 40,000 people — 10,000 more than last year — were expected to participate in Monday's event despite light rain. They were attempting to coax hard-boiled eggs across the lawn to a finish line. This year’s theme is “EGG-ucation,” and led by Jill Biden, a teacher for more than 30 years.
