You will NEED to use flash. It's not optional for this sort of thing.
Ordinarily I'd say if the camera is on a tripod and the subject isn't moving, you can leave a shutter open as long as you like. But in this situation the camera will keep collecting light from the sources that are lit (the water and those columns) much faster than the subjects that are not lit (you and your family) and before it has enough light on you and your family, the other elements will be badly over-exposed.
SO.... setup the camera to take the long exposure of the fountain... but fire the flash for a quick burst of light on you and your family. That momentary burst of light on you will be enough to adequately expose you (and even if someone moves when the flash isn't illuminating you the camera won't catch it) and the camera lens can continue to take the longer exposure of the background.
The result should get you what you want.
