Kites in Trees at the 2015 White House Easter Egg Roll

This photograph was taken by Matthew D'Agostino for the White House Historical Association on April 6, 2015, during the annual White House Easter Egg Roll. Paper kites, made by children at activity stations during the event, hang in trees on the South Grounds. In 2015, the theme of the White House Easter Egg Roll was "#GimmeFive," which commemorated the fifth anniversary of First Lady Michelle Obama's "Let's Move!" campaign by challenging the public to incorporate five new healthy habits into their daily routine and share their choices on social media. The event featured sports and fitness zones, cooking demonstrations, storytelling, appearances by costumed characters, musical performances, and classic seasonal activities such as an egg hunt and egg roll race. Performers at the event included rapper Diggy, girl group Fifth Harmony, pop duo MKTO, the cast of the Broadway musical "Newsies," So You Think You Can Dance" all-star contestants, and entertainers from the classic children's television show "Sesame Street."
