A Mystery

The mystery begins when the father walks in the door after a hard days work. Illuminated above his head is this message, "HAPPY Father's day" and it is three days before the actual day. Hmm, he thinks. But he is happy nontheless, because before him is also his smiling family.
One small lad hands him a piece of paper.

He reads it. It's a clue. Off he goes to see what he will find.

He searchs and finds one more note and then another.

Some of the clues are quite perplexing.

Then finally he discovers something.

Which led him to his next clue and finally to

a second reward!
Now all good detectives must eat, so he sat down to a most charming meal with his beaming brood and chewed on his thoughts.
 At the end of the meal, he turned to his wife and said, "Would you like for us to go visit your dad on Sunday?"
To which she replied, "Excellent deduction, my dear. How did you know?"
"Well," he returned, "I see that you have gone to all this trouble to make sure that I did not feel slighted on Father's Day and have created this special celebration for me three days before Father's Day, so that we would be freed up on Sunday."
"Remarkable," was all she could say.

Then the whole lot of them settled down to a mystery movie marathon.
