This sentence is currently in passive voice. In active voice, it would be:

"Our parents picked up our friends"

To change a sentence from passive to active voice you would switch around the subjects. In passive voice, the subject (in this case "parents") is being acted upon. In active voice, the parents need to act upon "friends."
