need help with lens choice

Although George and Marcus really know their stuff and are responsible for my decision, I would love to hear from anybody . I am getting ready to purchase camera in two weeks. I narrowed it down to a Canon. Now with their input, a 50D is the direction I'm going. Tell me please about the extra lens I should look at. I have grand kids that I shoot a lot. We also have a ranch with game and incredible desert scenery that I would really like to shoot well. Please advise as to what I can't live without.-------Su

Congrats on your choice.
You are asking on advice for an extra lens, but you are not disclosing the type of lens your camera will be bought with.
I personally ordered mine with the 18 - 200 zoom and I am in the market to get a very good Macro lens with at least an F 2.8 (yes, I know it will go zoom expensive) but from watching the results in photos taken by people who do know what do to with such a lens, the results are fantastic. But then, my recomendation is based on my interests, and if you have grand kids, the clarity a macro lens gives you is of unbelievable quality. Enjoy!

PS By the way I am incredibly happy with my D50.
