While Easter is a holiday typically associated with chocolate rabbits and high calorie brunches, Monday's annual Easter Egg Roll at the White House will take a more health conscious approach.
Falling in line with the First Lady Michelle Obama's "Ready, Set, Go!" campaign against childhood obesity, the egg roll will include obstacle courses, dance instruction and information on building personal gardens.
According to the White House, players from the Washington Redskins and the Baltimore Ravens football teams will be on-hand to help lead the activities.
A number of other celebrities will appear as well, including singer Justin Bieber, actress Reese Witherspoon, Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling and the cast of the television show Glee.
