Maggi Thorne from "American Ninja Warrior" was the special guest at the grand opening of Obstacle Warrior Kids on Friday. But she wasn't there just to make an appearance. She talked to and played along with all the kids all day long.

My family's favorite place to play is Obstacle Warrior Kids Lubbock. And on Friday, June 8, Thorne was the special guest for their official grand opening.

While Thorne was there, she gave a short talk about being on the TV show "American Ninja Warrior." But more importantly, she took the time to not just talk to all the kids who wanted to meet her, but played with everybody on the course, including a few rounds of dodgeball.

Here she is helping local kids tackle some of the obstacles:

And another showing off her incredible strength:
