Solution

Calculating the total members in the family.
According to the question,
The number of sons = $5$
The number of daughters = $3$ (Three daughters because each son has the same $3$ sisters)
Number of babies = $3$
Members who went to picnic are as follows;
Total number of people = $2$ (couple) + $5$ (sons) + $3$ (daughters) + $3$ (babies)
= $7 + 6$
= $13$
Hence, the total number of people in the family are $13$ .
