Lady Bug Princess at the JCP Pumpkin Parade

Every year at JC Penney's, the employees march their costumed munchkins through the headquarters in a Pumpkin Parade. All the employees are unchained from their cubes for an hour to watch and/or take part (munchkin required). This time (Oct 30th) was Nat's first year! Grandma Zook was in town to help out, so we loaded up the wagon (thanks Aunt Maggie!), the costume, and the kid and headed out to JCP for the big event!



Did Nat enjoy the event? Oh yes! Did Nat enjoy her costume? Well, at first, Natalie tugged at the ruffles and scolded them harshly for daring to be on her garment. Fortunately, they made peace just in time for Natalie to declare war on:
A. Her wings
B. Her shoes
C. Her antennae
D. All of the above
Did you guess "D"? Nat's rule was that the entire costume could not be on her body at the same time. See below:

The only known photo of Nat in full costume may be the one to follow, but since we can neither confirm nor deny the presence of shoes, it could be a hoax (may as well file it with all your photos of Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster).

The Natty Bug then took a quick "flight" with Daddy before changing back into civilian attire (got to guard the secret identity, ya know).
