Aww! They ran so fast and all he said was 'eee'!

They seem like good kids. Respectful of nature and laughing off being startled in public like that.

Be careful around marmots, they like to steal your stuff.

I had a friend take of their boots at a destination and a marmot ran off with one of them. Had to hike back 6 miles with one boot.
