Puddle Expedition
Puddle jumping on a rainy day. Suit up and splash in every puddle you can find.
Pick a properly rainy day and suit up in rain boots and rain gear, or old clothes you don't mind soaking. Walk a loop around the neighborhood and jump in every puddle, keep a tally, and crown the biggest splash. Race leaf boats down the gutter and look for rain-day finds: worms, snails, and streams that only exist today. Set out dry clothes by the door and hot chocolate before you leave, so coming home is part of the fun.
