The Boys Enjoy Some Much Needed Playtime
The boys were a rambunctious lot, and being boys they needed an outlet for their energy. It was suggested (before they ruined all the furnishings of the White House), that they be given some playtime outdoors. The Vice President thought this was a great idea and so each morning one of the staff would open the french doors that led out onto the south lawn, and the boys would tumble out.
