EXT. Day. Beach Campground

Jesse and Lori walk toward the beach campground bathroom. Lori carries their towels and essentials. Jesse rides his three wheeler as you can hear the crunching of sand run under his plastic tires.

Lori: We're going to take a shower. (humming)

Jesse smiles as he speeds up on his three wheeler. Lori walks up the short wooden ramp as Jesse rides his three wheeler in. Mud passes in with his tires. Women in plastic caps, some wrapped in towels, look on in amazement and somewhat horror. A few step beside the mud tracks. Jesse rides into the biggest stall.

Lori: Here's your stuff.

Lori puts Jesse's items to wash and dry with down on the bench in the shower stall. She then proceeds to turn the water on adjusting it to warm.

Lori: Ok buddy. You're all set.

Jesse: Ok.

Jesse puts his bike set in the corner. Lori walks into her shower and proceeds. You hear humming coming from Jesse's shower.

Women: Yeah.

Some proceed to clap in somewhat of a line form as Jesse walks past by himself toward the big stall. His smile is huge and large and he makes a proud giggle sound of as his smile gets huge. The women smile and look on.

Woman: I didn't think you were going to be able to come back to this campground. Lori's face blushes a bit. She looks proudly at Jesse as he makes his way into his stall.

Woman: That's a big boy.

Jesse: I can do the water mom.

Lori: Are you sure?

Jesse: Yup.

Lori: Ok hun.

You hear water running and women laughing with relief as the water washes over Lori gleaming.

Outside shower is my Jesse, at three years old, SO PROUD. Running from abuse left the pictures not in the best form.
