Thousands Are Expected To Attend The White House Easter Egg Roll, With The Trumps Presiding

President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump expected to welcome 40,000 people to the first White House Easter Egg Roll of his second term, though the annual event could turn soggy with scattered showers in Monday's forecast.

The president and first lady were scheduled to address the crowd from a White House balcony before they join the festivities.

Children will line up to guide colorfully dyed hard-boiled eggs across a patch of lawn to a finish line. There's also an egg hunt and activities to promote next year's 250th anniversary of America's founding .

Kids and families can sign a mini-Declaration of Independence or dress up as Founding Fathers during the daylong event that will feature multiple activity stations, live performances and story times.

The first lady, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt and Keith Kellogg, the president's special envoy for Ukraine, are among those scheduled to read to children.
