The fourth of July is the highlight of the Palmetto Bluff calendar. Follow along with the Truslow family on this magical summer day.
Neal and Lauren Truslow come to Palmetto Bluff as often as they can. Their kids, Peyton, Emma, Harper, and Gunner, practically live outside in the summer months. They go for daily bike rides, swim in the River Road pool, and go for long evening golf cart rides looking for fox and deer.
“We like to be outside no matter what. We have a slip and slide for the summer and an inflatable TV screen for football games in the fall. We like to go down to Moreland so the kids can climb trees, pick out shells, and play games. It’s wonderful for them.”
The fourth of July is particularly special for the Truslow family. Neal has served in the National Guard as a military lawyer for almost twenty years.
“We are very patriotic. We have red, white, and blue everything—from House decorations to outfits. We really love to amp it up on the fourth of July.”
“We like to go big! We are dressed up from start to finish. We always like to enter the golf cart parade contest, so everyone gets all decked out for that. And we always go to the fourth of July barbecue. In the evening we light sparklers and make s’mores around the fire pit.”
