Throwback: 4th of July 2017 at the farm
Spending 4th of July at Gil's family farm in South Carolina is a Bates family tradition. Even though many of the kids are busy with their own children and their adult lives, they still try to go back to the farm on the 4th. We have posted about the trip year after year because of how much coverage it has gotten from the Bates family and their show. A couple of the kids posted videos showing this year's festivities (links below).
