Trudeau's kids have fun while dad gives boring adult speech
While Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and U.S. President Barack Obama made a grand speech about reciprocity between nations, Trudeau's kids goofed around on the White House lawn Thursday morning.

—@josh_wingroveThere seems to be some demand to see more of the Trudeau children
I want to see more of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's kids!! <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/CanadaVisit?src=hash">#CanadaVisit</a>
—@MariaLiaCalvoGosh darn but the Grégoire-Trudeau kids are crazy cute.
—@ronindotcaTrudeau himself was a visitor to the White House as a child. His father, Pierre Elliot Trudeau, visited then president Jimmy Carter in 1977.
In 1972, upon visiting Trudeau's father, Richard Nixon predicted that Trudeau would eventually become prime minister, saying "I'd like to toast the future prime minister of Canada: to Justin Pierre Trudeau."
Trudeau had been born on Christmas the previous year.
