Is that the bunny hop Michelle? The First Lady shows how it’s done, shaking her tail at an official visit




Her taste for restrained elegance once earned her the title of First Lady of Fashion.
But yesterday she showed off her wild side to help teach kids about how to keep fit while having fun.
Michelle Obama was in New Hampshire's capital as part of her ‘Let’s Move’ campaign against childhood obesity to find out what's on the menu at a visit to a neighborhood nonprofit group.

Wild side: Michelle Obama let her hair down during an official visit to New Hampshire to promote healthy eatingShe stopped by the Penacook Community Center in Concord, which encourages before and after school exercise and teaches children about healthy eating through use of a vegetable garden. During a quick visit with the center’s 4- and 5-year-old children, Mrs. Obama emphasized proper nutrition, using plastic food.

Mrs Obama did a ‘bunny pokey’, shaking her ‘bunny tail about’, before sharing a snack of yogurt, fruit and White House honey with the children. Afterward, she spoke to a crowd of about 100 on the importance of fighting childhood obesity.‘Regardless of where you live or what you do, we care about our kids, and we want them to be the healthiest that they can possibly be,’ she said.The first lady congratulated New Hampshire on its existing health programs as well as some efforts under way, singling out Mayor James Bouley and the Capital Area Wellness Coalition on its work to promote healthy lifestyles in Concord.

Ohhhh: Michelle Obama gives it all she's got in the bunny-hop hokey-kokey
She also welcomed the capital as the second New Hampshire city to join ‘Let’s Move Cities and Towns.’ Keene was the first. Plans are under way to bring the initiative to 10 more cities and towns in the state.
Mrs. Obama’s host, PCC, aims to be the newest ‘Let’s Move Child Care’ center by providing children with one to two hours of physical activity, limited screen time and healthy food and drink choices.New Hampshire’s first lady, Dr Susan Lynch, joined Mrs Obama during her visit. A pediatrician and fellow advocate against childhood obesity, Dr Lynch introduced Mrs Obama and championed her initiatives.

Rabbit food? Mrs Obama got enthusiastic about plastic fruit during the promotional trip for her 'Let's Move' campaignNow we can go out and teach children about healthy foods to eat and how to stay fit, but (if) we as adults aren’t responsible and don’t go out there and provide safe places where children can get affordable, nutritious food and find safe places to play, we’re not going to be successful,’ she said.
Mrs Obama’s visit is the third in as many weeks by White House officials, reflecting the coming presidential campaign season.

President Barack Obama visited Nashua last week to promote his American energy initiatives, and Vice President Joe Biden came to stump in Manchester the week before
