I'm going to try and focus on the positives since this was such a neat opportunity...so I won't elaborate on how long the hour in a half line was and how hot the 85 degree afternoon temperatures felt as we stood out on the lawn in the hour in a half line! Enough said.
Once through security and inside we had the privilege of standing in more lines for the various activities. While we waited I tried to distract the girls by visiting some of the various characters on the lawn...Dora and other well known people were quite busy and had long lines, so we went to visit...the egg lady? 
Finally...the egg roll! So much anticipation for 15 seconds of fun!
Morgan had no clue but was having fun regardless.
There were a bunch of activities and stations...the girls enjoyed the hula hoops and the dance crew that was performing. This is also where Yo-Gaba-Gaba performed...I'm such a name dropper!
The White House Garden....not looking very impressive.
The White House Bees...homemade honey!
An adorable baby who was a trooper despite being hot, sweaty, hungry and tired!
Just moments after this picture I walked away to take a few more photos and Michelle Obama and one of their girls came out of the White House and walked by...missed photo op!
It was a long day...but fun. The girls were a little disappointed that they didn't have time to participate in the all the events. We didn't get in to the lawn until 12:45 and technically we were supposed to leave at 1:45...they let our group stay til 2:15 since we got in so late. Apparently it was backing up from the two morning groups. I think we'll try for tickets again next year and this time we'll have a better idea of what to expect.

That sounds like our experience. The difference being we only had Grace. I just found Grace's egg that they gave to her.
