"'''Aunt Rachel Is Here!'''" is the fifteenth episode from the [[Season 5|fifth season]] of ''[[Barney & Friends]]''.

==Plot==
A visit from Ashley and Alissa's Aunt Rachel inspires the children to have a party in her honor. As the preparations are made, Scooter, Miss Etta, and the children share their favorite memories surrounding their own aunts, uncles and cousins. But Stephen feels left out because his family is too small: It's just him, his dad, his stepmom, his stepbrother and his grandmother. He is the only kid in this group without uncles, aunts, or cousins, but Barney and the kids help him learn that it is not the size of his family that matters, but it’s the love of his family for him. When Aunt Rachel and Mom arrive, they enjoy Miss Etta's lemonade, Scooter's cookies and a tour of the school and the treehouse.
