Let's break down the problem step by step:

Couple: There is a couple, which means 2 people.

Sons: The couple has 5 sons.

Sisters: Each son has 3 sisters. So, there are 3 daughters in total.

Babies: Each of the 3 sisters has one baby. Therefore, there are 3 babies.

Now, let's calculate the total number of people:

2 people (couple)
5 sons
3 sisters
3 babies
Total people = 2 + 5 + 3 + 3 = 13

So, in total, 13 people went for the picnic.
