Miranda Lambert is in New York visiting her husband's family this week and got a rare treat that she didn't get a lot as a kid growing up in Texas, a visit from a city ice cream truck.

Miranda shared on Instagram, "I grew up on a dirt road in east Texas. The closest thing we had to an ice cream truck was mom’s homemade cool-aid freezer pops. Sometimes after school we got a Dairy Queen blizzard. (Can I get an amen on the Oreo blizzard anyone? )."

She continued, "Yesterday while hanging out with my NY fam, a truck stopped by for all the kids. I picked a rainbow snow cone. I don’t like adulting that much so anytime I can just follow the music of the ice cream truck to happiness I want to. From now on If you see me running you know why. I’m either running to ice cream or running it off! #purejoy #icecreamyouscream."
