No day at the lake is complete without a stop for ice cream. After a tough afternoon of lollygagging on the grass, and splashing in the water, daddy insisted on a mandatory stop at La Cigale- a down home ice cream shop in the tiny Gateneau town of Chelsea. This is no Baskin Robbins. Everything is home made right there in the shop with local, fresh ingredients. Our favorite was the strawberry sour cream, but blackberry sorbet, brownies & cream, and gingersnap chai all received high rankings.
As wonderful as the ice cream is, being able to savor it from an adirondak chair, on a grassy lawn next to flowerbeds in old town Chelsea makes it a classic summer treat.

Great Grandpa Ben would be thrilled. A girl after his own heart!
