I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream!

The weather is starting to warm up, and summer will be here before we know it! And summertime, for Texans, means lazy days spent near a body of water, enjoying the summer sun and late bedtime. There is nothing like a lazy summer day to remind you of the magic in summertime, regardless of your age. And one of summer’s best treats? Ice cream, popsicles and any sort of frozen treat, of course! Who doesn’t love a chilled treat after a day in the warm sun?

Even if it’s not summer when you read this, that’s okay. Ice cream is basically always a good idea! Whether you prefer rocky road or vanilla, like your ice cream in a cup or a cone or prefer a frozen smoothie or fruity Popsicle or something else entirely, there is no wrong way to enjoy a frozen treat! The area of Concan, Texas, has some great ice cream and frozen treat shops you can visit to grab a cold treat any time of year. So if your vacation plans have you near the Frio River, enjoying the scenic beauty of the area, be sure and stop by one of these sweet shops when you want to treat yourself.
