Galaxy S3 Wifi

I've looked for the answer to this question, and I find things close, but not quite what I need.

I have a Galaxy S3-Verizon and it works great.  However, there are times when I manually turn WiFi off, for various reasons (one example is mowing my lawn while streaming music-the router is on one side of the house but when I get too far away the streaming stops, so I'll turn my wifi off and stream over 4G).  But even though I manually turned off Wifi, it will often turn back on and reconnect.  I don't mind connecting to things normally, but when I have a specific reason for shutting WiFi off I don't want it to turn back on.

Anywhere in the phone I can change this and stop Wifi from turning back on until I turn it on myself?
