The First Lady's trip to Afghanistan deserves a second look. The following are White House photos.

Children from the School of Hope hold hands during a visit by the First Lady to Kabul University Wednesday. "The School of Hope" -- what a lovely name for a school in a nation devastated by decades of war. And what a lovely symbol of the new Afhganistan -- one that is now safe enough to welcome the First Lady of the United States.

Our beautiful First Lady Laura Bush listens to Afghan teachers and students at the Women’s Teacher’s Training Institute of Kabul University.

A group of Afghan girls dressed in native costumes greeted the First Lady on her arrival in Kabul.

Laura Bush hands red, white and blue kaleidoscopes to youngsters outside a Kabul bakery.

Here, she teaches young boys how to use a kaleidoscope.

Spring at the White House.

A robin visits.

Barney laughs.

Easter eggs are prepared for the hunt and roll.

Tulips bloom around the South Lawn.

Flowers bloom in the Rose Garden.

The President warms up his pitching arm.

And somewhere the White House squirrels are stealing nuts right under Barney's nose.

I think we can safely bet that those boys will never forget that moment! :)
