Straw hats, hula dancers and an Obama 'boogy' as White House picnic turns into Hawaiian luau
http://www.dailymail.co.uk — Straw huts, hula dancers and children playing with hula hoops turned the White House's backyard into Hawaii yesterday - not the typical congressional picnic.
President Barack Obama wanted it this way for the annual picnic for members of Congress and their families.
The Obama White House turned its first congressional picnic into a Hawaiian luau, in celebration of the president's home state.
Tents were set up on the South Lawn, tiki torches lined the perimeter, and potted palm trees were brought in.
More than 2,000 guests, many wearing leis and sipping drinks, were scattered on the South Lawn under the blue sky.
As he made his way to the stage, guests were treated to Obama and daughter Sasha dancing on the lawn.
