What body and lenses do you currently own?

Good place for an 18-200mm "super" zoom.

The attractions are large and posing in front calls for the 18mm end but capturing the kids on the rides needs the 200mm end of that zoom. Vibration reduction is a good thing too. There are "indoor" rides and shows too where a fast 30 or 50mm f1.4 would be kinder than flash but many people are popping flashes off anyways.

18-200 is a nikon lens, i don't think canon has anything to offer like that. if i were going to get one "do-it-all" lens it'd be one of the many different 70-200's. either that or the 24-105

for fam bam, i'd bring the kit lens it came with (prolly an 18-55), and if i am cheap about it, id go for maybe like a 55-200, just so that you have something that fits the entire spectrum... but if you dont want to be cheap about things, i'd get like a 24-75 or something similar, slap it on the camera, and call it a day...

Canon 17-40 f/4
Canon 70-200 f/2.8
Canon 50 f/1.4
Canon 10-22
