“Preston and Belle, hope you enjoyed peak bloom,” Obama wrote on Instagram. “My bad for stepping into the shot.”
The serendipitous photo shows the kids grinning under a branch of the pretty pink petals with the Washington Monument in the background as Obama pops into the frame wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap.
The children had just finished posing with their parents, Portia and Damien, when their dad noticed the 44th president making the unexpected cameo.
“He goes ‘that was President Obama who just walked by?’ and looks his direction,” the kids’ mother wrote on Instagram Tuesday, along with a shoutout to the photographer, Briana Inell.
“I was like whaaaaat?! I ran to the photographer and asked her if she got the picture. She scrolls through and BOOM there is it! The perfect shot!”
“Such an epic core memory formed for our entire family,” she added.
