puddle jumping
Stomping through rainwater
Puddle jumping is the childhood activity of splashing through puddles after rain, usually with deliberate enthusiasm: The kids spent the afternoon puddle jumping in their rain boots.
The term also describes short-hop flights between nearby destinations, where planes barely reach cruising altitude before descending again.
