Extremely Lame Pun Avoided

One of the many benefits of being out here is the duckling's ability to be close to their cousins. (Should they be the goslings?) This week they all got to go on a birthday trip for the youngest cousin (who is just three weeks different in age from D2). Among the features were a corn maze, a tricycle race track, and a pumpkin launcher. And, of course, a nice backdrop for a cousin picture.

Many, many thanks for avoiding the lame pun. Still, neat pix.

I find your blog rather interesting - a grammar commando myself.
As I understand you have two children who participated in this celebration, in the sentence: "One of the many benefits of being out here is the duckling's ability to be close to their cousins." the mentioned party should read "ducklings'" - should it not? After having clicked on your grammar commando link and observed your emphatic disgust, the observation was irresistible.
